Suggest Ways To Rule Out Penile Cancer
Question: I found out couple of dark marks on my penis shaft and light colour on my penis head. I'm stressed out whether it is penile cancer or not. Please do help me
Brief Answer:
Not penile cancer
Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us
I am Dr. Kakkar(dermatologist and venereologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the images.
The dark spot on shaft seems a bit raised and rough. It is most likely either seborrheic keratosis, which is a benign epidermal skin lesion, not cancer Or it could be a genital wart which is an HPV infection.
You glans penis looks absolutely normal to me.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Seborrheic keratosis is benign
Detailed Answer:
hi.
Seborrheic keratosis is a benign epidermal skin lesion. It is not dangerous . You can leave it as it is.. Though it can be easily fulgurated with electrocautery and that is it!! cured.
Perhaps you have a mild fungal infection on glans i.e candidal balanitis. I suggest you to use a topical OTC antifungal cream e.g clotromazole 1% cream, twice daily for a week.
