What Is The Cause And Treatment For Red Patch On Penis?

Last night I noticed a small red patch on the shaft of my penis and a small bump barely 2x2 mm. It's been 5 days since I last had sex which was protected. The red mark is slightly irritating though I think it might just be due to my own periodic self examinations. The surface around the bump is sometimes shiny as if moist. The seems no bigger then a nodule for a hair but I can see any hair coming from it and I'm not sure if it's an ingrown or not.

Hello
Thanks for query .Red patch with small bumps on glans penis after having protected sex is mostly due allergic reaction to chemicals in condom used as lubricant.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .along with topical steroid cream of combination of antibiotic and steroid like Neosporin H for local application twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
