Redness on penis area....no irritation or itch
I am circumcised and have started to notice some redness on the head. It’s not really on it, just underneath where the head rounds towards the shaft. It doesn’t it’s or bother me in any way. I just noticed the change a few months ago. I’ve googled a few things and it
Could be several different things or just irritation. I did receive oral a couple of months ago and it was kind of rough. It sure that caused the issue or not. Also a condom was used. I have also noticed my penis tucks in a little more when excercising or something and thought since that was rubbing it might cause the redness.

Yes, your googling has already told you the possibilities - irritation, friction, maybe it's a fungal infection, etc.
If you used a condom for oral sex, it's not an STD. No STD gives you a red spot that lasts for months, in any case. Even if the oral sex was rough, the redness from it wouldn't have lasted this long.
Are there any bumps or lumps? Does it feel different to the touch than your other skin? Has the redness gotten bigger?
It could be the way it rubs against whatever underwear you wear, so maybe try and adjust yourself, and see if that helps. If it doesn't, getting a doctor to take a look would be a good idea.
If it's itchy, painful, the redness grows, or it changes in any way, for sure get a doctor to check it out.

Not too bad. But it seems that the line around the head is about how far it tucks in.
The line meaning where I can see the redness starts
