What Causes Redness At Tip Of Foreskin?
Hi, i have a red bubble type thing of blood on the tip of my foreskin, it was bruised for about 20 minutes but now is just puffy and red with no pain. Based off a quick google search it states it is a hematoma ? If its not could you please tell me what it is? if it is a hematoma is it serious and how long will it take to clear up? thanks

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com
Having a red bubble like lesion on foreskin with bruising, without pain, is suggestive of heamatoma, which may be caused by trauma. Trauma can be caused by sexual intercourse, masturbation, physical injury. For heamatoma it will take near about 5-7 days to regress spontaneously, need not to be too worried about it.
Also it would be better not to involve in forceful sexual activities.
Thank you.
