Grey Spots On Shaft Of Penis, Lighter When Erect. On Depakote For Seizures. What Are These ?
On the shaft of my penis i have noticed a few spots that appear grey when it is flaccid. My entire penis is a different color than the rest of my skin. When erect the areas that have the spots become lighter and look like the rest of the foreskin . These spots cause no pain or problems and my body temp is normal here. The only medication i am taking is depakote for seizures. I am wondering what these spots are and if I should be concerned?
Hello Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what are called as Fordyce spots over penis.These are visible sebaceous glands
The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected. Please do not worry they will get fade away over a period of time. Dr.patil.
