What Causes Dark Spots On The Head Of The Penis?

default
Posted on Tue, 27 Dec 2016
Question: Hi, looking at the different forum, I have two darker small spot, one at the tip and the other one on the side (just a little darker than the rest of the skin) usually penis head is light purple the spot would look just a different tone of purple. I can't always see they are there, when my penis is erect it does not show. They come and go, and show up more when taking hot showers, always same place. I got tested for STD which came back negative, just don't know why I would have 2 spots without any other symptoms, not itchy, not burning, no bumps, sometime some tiny piece, would look shiny, no skin is peeling off. I feel like wasting the doctor's time to book an appointment and show up without any symptoms. I don't have any picture at the moment but could provide if require. Can't find any similar picture online. Thank you for your time.
