Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

No, I do not have any itching or pain. It is just the color only, which is the dark spot only.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It is due to subacute fungal infection, a deficiency of vitamins and minerals. Please follow the below-mentioned guidelines:

  1. Maintain good hygiene.
  2. Wear loose and cotton clothes.
  3. Take salads and fruits more.
  4. Take Azadirachta leaves juice daily in the morning on empty for a few weeks.
  5. Apply Candid (Beclometasone) lotion twice a day.
  6. Take a capsule of Itraconazole 200 mg once daily.
  7. Take tablet multivitamins once daily.
  8. Please send me a follow-up after seven days.

Consult a specialist, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have been using immune boosters and maintaining proper hygiene, but the dark spots on my penis and shaft and tights are still there. Sometimes, I panic, but I really need to know what to let it go or how to remove the dark spots. I do not know if it is poor hygiene that caused it or the infection, but I am sure I was masturbating with shampoo for weeks, about one month, and I do not usually clean up with water but only clean with clothes most times. I really want to know the cause of these dark spots on my penis, if it is serious or just nothing to worry too much about, but it is not itching me, neither did I have any pain urinating.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Do not worry. It is due to fungal infection associated with dryness. Apply good moisturizer cream locally regularly after bath. Apply Candidox (Ciclopirox and Zinc pyrithione)cream locally twice a day in the afternoon and at night. Take a tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg once per day. Please send me a follow-up after 15 days. Continue immune boosters, good hygiene maintenance, and good nutritious foods.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
