Brief Answer:
List of causes listed sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help.

There are a few causes for a presentation similar to yours sir, which is why such a presentation warrants a physical examination by a doctor. But I am going to list these causes out for you and the reason why they develop (briefly) so you can try to connect to the possible cause in your specific case.

They are:

-Injury: This can result in bluish, greenish, or purple appearance. If at all injury was minor and seems to be healing already then this should not be a cause for concern. But if at all the injury was more serious and painful (especially injury during intercourse) then medical attention is mandatory

-Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): This usually occurs after injury to the superficial skin; in most cases from excessive and rough masturbation or sexual intercourse with less amount of lubricant. The penis can turn dark brown, gray, white or blue.

-Vitiligo: The cause for vitiligo is still unknown when it comes to the penis, but it is gradual and not a sudden change in color unlike the previous two causes and can either result in parts of the penis turning completely white or even the entire penis.

-Hematoma: Resulting from an injury it causes a red or dark brown appearance with visible blood vessels

-Growths/tumors: If you see a patch of discoloration with clear and defined borders and possibly even elevation of the affected surface in comparison to the surrounding healthy tissue then this will have to be investigated immediately with the help of a physical examination and a biopsy

I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you, so you can relate to the most likely cause/condition in your case and seek medication attention accordingly sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
