What Causes Irritation In Penis Along With Redness Around The Head Of Penis?
Penis irritation, slight redness around ring of head. No discharge , no burning while urinating. Foreskin soreness when I pull back from head. Irritating feeling comes and goes throughout day. Not really sure what s going on but its annoying, sometimes when I smoke marijuana the feeling get worse and burns. Weird I know but I feel as if I m having a allergic reaction to Nuvaring but I m not sure. Symptoms aren t pointing to a stf but I m pretty nervous. Really just need a second opinion before further action
