Hi,

I have gone through your query. Spot on penis are very common and men are frequently worried they have STD. The lesion you have mentioned is completely harmless and is just a spot. Discontinue Hydrocortisone and leave it as it is.
If it starts to show any other symptoms, then a local dermatologist can be consulted.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
