Hi doctor,
I have hyperpigmentation in some parts of my penis. I do not have any other symptoms. One part of my glans is lighter and the surrounding area is dark. I do not have any medical history associated with it.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I do not see any attached photograph. Please send a picture of the affected area to help you. I need to see the affected area to assess the condition and to suggest appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you doctor,
I have sent the photograph.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You have normal melanosis or hyperpigmentation (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Please mention whether you have a past history of fungal infection and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation mark. Every black lesion is not melanoma and it is normal.
Thank you doctor,
I do not have any history of infection in the past.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The lesions are just penile melanosis. It is a harmless benign condition. Do not be scared. It is only of cosmetic concern. There are white patches also. Please mention whether you have a history of contact with a disinfectant, used any harsh soaps, and any other white or black patches in the body. You can use a mild cleanser like Episoft cleanser (Cetearyl alcohol with Butylene glycol) or Cetaphil cleanser (Cetyl alcohol with Butylparaben) daily to wash your genitals. Having a dark color is normal and you can use Kojivit cream (Kojic acid dipalmitate) over the dark spots for twenty days.
