Question : I've noticed some dark spots on the head of my penis, and I was wondering if you could tell me if I need an std check up or not. and I've also noticed a ring that was puffy around it as well, but I just thought that I should get it checked out before it's too late... please help me.

Thank you for your time

Brief Answer:
Doesnt look like STD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I saw the photograph attached with previous question.These doesn't look like any STD.

May be you had a minor fungal infection in this region with residual skin darkening remaining.

Give a try to antifungal antiseptic cream combination. Nothing else would be needed.

This should not be cause of worry or concern.

Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.

Brief Answer:
Spots will fade but may not go entirely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Spots will fade but may not go entirely.But that should not be cause of concern or worry.

If its discomfort in scrotum than in penis then get a precautionary ultrasound dont to see if there is any underlying cause of discomfort.This is more to relieve your worry.I dont suspect anything much for just discomfort.Regards.
