What Causes Phimosis?
Hi, I have a problem down there. First I must say that my foreskin does not retract and never has. The issue I have right now is a red patch on the tip of my penis, this patch seems to be located on the foreskin. I feel no pain or irritation, the only thing present is the red patch. This red mark seems to stretch up into my foreskin but I cannot be sure of this. What can this be and should I be worried?

Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern.
Causes of phimosis are:-
1) By birth
2) Balanitis
Phimosis can be treated by circumcision. Kindly follow if any query or consult with surgeon. I think this will clarify your concerns.
Thank you.
Take care.
