I have noticed a black spot on my penis with no other symptoms. What is it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is penile melanosis with dryness. It is a harmless benign condition that can occur due to multiple causes. It is only a cosmetic concern. Do not be scared. Do not worry. Apply Tacroz (Tacrolimus) 0.03% cream at daytime in small quantity for three weeks. Apply Cutisoft (Hydrocortisone) cream in small quantity at night for three weeks. Use a Cetaphil cleanser to wash the genital area. Use Aveeno (Dimethicone) Moisturizer twice daily for ten days. Do you have a history of contact with irritants or disinfectants? Do you have an itching or burning sensation? Do you excessively scratch or rub the lesion? Since when it appeared? Is it spreading? Do you have any family history of melanoma or any history of atopy or allergies? Any rough handling?

Hi,

No, it is benign, harmless penile Melanosis. Do not be scared as there are no symptoms, nothing to worry about. The dark color is normal. You can use Kojic cream (Kojic Dipalmitate, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, milk protein) at night on the lesion for ten days. If any change in size or shape or color, or margins noticed, revert. Take care.

Yes, there is nothing to worry about for sure. Use mild soap like Dove or Nosoap cleanser or Episoft cleanser to clean genitals. Maintain proper genital hygiene. Avoid friction, occlusion, injury to glans. Wear loose, comfortable thin cotton inners. If itching or swelling occurs, you can apply Micogel (Miconazole Nitrate) twice daily for 15 days. Regards.

There is nothing to worry. Avoid stress. It is benign melanosis, and not melanoma.

Hi,

Glad to have you back!

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

Is there irritation? I suggest you to do the following:

1. Luliconazole cream twice daily for 15 days (in the groin and on the lesions).

2. Use Candid cream at night for 15 days.

3. Elica 0.1 percent gel (Mometasone furoate 0.1 percent w/w) in the evening for 10 days.

4. Use Kojic soap for a bath for two months.

5. Wear loose comfortable thin cotton innerwear.

6. Wash the area daily with lukewarm water.

7. Avoid scratching or rubbing the lesions.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

No, there is nothing serious. There is nothing to bother. The differential diagnosis is penile melanosis, fungal infection, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I would like you to share details of your sexual history. Are you sexually active?

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.
