Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I see a small white line on the underskin of my penis. It does not hurt, but it has been there for quite some time. Can you help me understand what it is?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This is a variation of normal light and dark skin at the genitalia. It can be present in normal individuals. As long as no pain, discharge, itching, or inflammation is present, there is nothing to worry about.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Actually, this is not a discoloration. This line happened two months before on its own, and it looks like some swelling. I am attaching another picture with better quality. Can you please check?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
This is called lymphangiosclerosis. This condition is harmless and self-limiting, which means it will heal by itself without any treatment. It is simply a lymphatic vessel that got hard. It will heal on its own within six weeks.
