Is it concerning to have tiny brown spots on penis?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 30 years old. I am recently doing stretching exercises to loosen up my foreskin. The urologist advised me to use Betamethasone to help with the exercises or get surgery which I do not want. I was finally able to see my glands now and noticed these tiny brown spots. Is this serious or is it normal? I am worried. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
In my opinion, there are two to three different diagnoses. Plane warts are viral infections and are mostly acquired sexually. The treatment of this is fulguration or cautery. Lentigines or freckles which usually require no treatment. Normal variant. Moreover, Betamethasone has nothing to do with these brown spots. There is no urgency but see a dermatologist physically for one of the above-confirmed diagnoses.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your response.
I am not a sexually active person but I do masturbate here and there. Would I still get the infection? I am also using castor oil every day on the glans would that give me an infection?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
No masturbation and castor oil application are not the cause of plane warts. Mostly it occurs sexually. Only in the first picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it gives suspicions of plane warts while other pictures favor rest of the two diagnoses. That is why I said there is no urgency. Just relax most probably it is a normal variant.
