What Causes Red Patch On The Head Of Penis?

on the head of my penis ive got a red patch with quite defined borders. dont know if its connected but sometimes when i eat lots of junk food it seems to get redder. other times it settles right down but i can still make out a fine border line that doesn't get any bigger or smaller

Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
this could be psoriasis of the penis that shows as thick red patch with well defined borders..this can be hereditary, but its rarely a serious condition..it is not infectious and typically responds to treatement with steroid cream.. it may also become more elevated by friction caused by masturbation or sexual intercourse
