Red Spots Under Your Foreskin (Not Itchy)? Here's What Could Be Happening

Discovering red spots under your foreskin can be alarming, even if they aren't itchy. While itchiness is often associated with fungal infections like thrush (candidiasis), the absence of itch doesn't rule out a problem.

So, what could these non-itchy red spots be? Several possibilities exist, including:

* **Irritation:** Harsh soaps, detergents, or even tight clothing can irritate the sensitive skin under the foreskin, leading to redness.
* **Contact Dermatitis:** A reaction to certain chemicals, latex (from condoms), or other allergens could be the culprit.
* **Balanitis:** While often itchy, some forms of balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis) can present with red spots and minimal or no itching.
* **Pearly Penile Papules:** These are small, skin-colored or whitish bumps that form around the head of the penis. They are normal and harmless but can sometimes appear reddish.

**Important:** It's always best to consult a doctor or other healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. They can examine the area, rule out any serious conditions, and recommend the appropriate treatment. Self-treating can sometimes worsen the problem. Don't hesitate to seek medical advice for your peace of mind.
