Medical Conditions - Dark Patch On Penis

A dark patch on the penis is termed penile melanosis, which is a benign condition. Small dark patches form on the penis due to melanin (brown pigments) accumulating at one side of the skin, causing hyperpigmentation. It is a painless brown or black colored patch and is around one to two centimeters in length. No treatment is required, but laser therapy can be done if someone wants to get rid of it.
