My glans are red, I'm worried?!

Question: My glans are red, I'm worried?

Okay so I am 15 years old and I have red glans, I have had sex only one time, but my glans have been red ever since I am a little kid, I am uncircumcised but I don' think it comes to the subject, does it? I don't have any red dots or something, is like you know the Meatus is red, then turns kinda greyish and then is red again, I think it's irritated, but if that so, why has it been irritated for 15 years? Also the colors is not a bright red! I mean it doesn't look like "OMG it's going to fall off!" Nothing like that. I also believe that I don't has a STD because it doesn't hurt or itch at all and I don't feel anything down there. I am very sensitive that's true, but I think is because of the foreskin. I am concerned about it, for my boyfriend and I were a little bit intimate (No penetration or oral sex) and I saw that his glans were skin colored (White person) so yeah. I would really appreciate any help or comments that could help me understand what has happened.

Answers:

The healthy colour for a glans is reddish pink - it gets redder when it's erect. Is your boyfriend circumcised? If so, that may be why his glans is an unhealthy pale colour.

Do NOT take Norton G's advice regarding cleaning. He may be a doctor, but he is wrong about keeping the penis clean. NEVER use soap on the glans - it dries the mucous membrane out and kills the beneficial bacteria that keep the glans healthy, making the glans less sensitive and inviting hungal infection. You should only ever rinse the glans with water.

Answer

Don't worry consult to your lady doctor. May be he gave you better advice than from here. Understand.

Take a picture of it and send it to me so that I can see it.

Sebastian, I hope I do not disappoint you when I state that your red glans penis is very normal and healthy. The pink-to-red color is due to the many normal capillary blood vessels just below the surface of the glans. In the capillaries are passing red blood cells whose red color causes the red you see. The entire penis is filled with blood channels which, during sexual excitement, cause the organ to enlarge and become very firm. Any irritation may be due to a tight foreskin, or simply a signal that you need to improve regular soap and water cleaning of the area, daily if possible. Be aware that even being a little bit intimate could allow the herpes virus to pass from skin-to-skin. Study a bit more about how herpes is passed from person-to-person even without having to have oral sex or penetration. Don'T worry now, but be wise and learn some more about possible sexually transmitted infections.
