Question: I bruised my penis snow mobiling six months ago, a 2" diameter piece of skin Chaffed off leaving a slight scab, I went to the doctor who told me it wasn't a std. I still have a slight purple bruise on my penis shaft where the original bruise and scab were. It is painless but I was wondering if it will ever go away.

I would like to follow up as well, I had some chaffing on my penis from wearing swimming trunks all week, I was advised by a doctor to put a hydrocortisone cream on the area. The chaffing area was right above the larger bruised area right under the under size of my penis head (circumcised) the hydrocortisone clearly came in contact with the purple area, however the area in the last few days has turned a darker more aparaint color and looks like a new bruise. It appears the skin on the bruises is drying out. There isn't any discharge or pain. I also haven't had any blunt trauma to the area. Only the chaffing, I've been sexually active with my wife. Is this a case of me having very sensitive skin in this area? Would the correlation of chaffing along with friction of intercourse cause the bruising to come back? Any recommendations as to what could prevent this? Again at my last doctor visit they said it didn't appear to be an std in any way. I just would like to know if this is a coincidence of chaffing in the same spot.
