Suggest Treatment For Light Brown Spots Under Foreskin Of Penis

Posted on Mon, 18 Jan 2016

Question: I have a couple light brown spots on the underside of my foreskin.

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
These are due to increased melanin deposition. Not of concern. Harmless.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the details and have checked the attached images. These are simple hyperpigmentations due to increased melanin deposition and not a cause for concern. Unless there is some itchiness associated, you need not worry and nothing needs to be done about it. If there is associated itchiness, application of candid (clotrimazole) lotion or powder topically should help.

Let me know if I could help further.
