Can the dark spots on the head of my penis be removed using a cream or ointment?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you are suffering from several dark spots on the head of the penis for the last one year. According to the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity) provided here, you may suffer from penile melanosis, which are the patches of brown or dark brown or significantly darker than the skin of the head of the penis. It is a harmless condition and does not need any medical treatment. They may have resulted from excess melanin deposition in those particular areas. But the exact causes for its formation is unknown. It is assumed that age, genetic factors, minor injuries, use of certain drugs like Anthralin, PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A) therapy, etc., may cause their formation. Surgical intervention to remove the spots is one of the treatment options. In case of any other query, ask me.
