Suggest Remedy For A Small Patch Appearing On The Foreskin

Hello, I recently noticed that a small (a little bit smaller than the size of a pinky finger nail) black patch appeared on my foreskin, it wasn t there before but I didn t pay that much mind to it. It s been weeks and the patch is still there, and I think it might ve grown a bit, so I m starting to worry a bit about what it can be.

Hi,

It can be caused due to sexually transmitted disease (syphilis and herpes). Also be due to bacterial infection. Take anti-bacterial drugs to cure.

I Hope I have answered your query. If you have further doubts , I would be happy to help you. Happy day.
