What Does A Visible Purple Vein Near The Meatus After Circumcision Indicate?
When I was born the doctor snipped the tip of my penis at the meatus when he circumcised me. I ve always had visible veins that look like purple spots near my meatus. As a nursing assistant I ve noticed others who have the same, look. As an adult, one of the two more pronounced one has bled on a few occasions. Is there a treatment to cauterize it so it goes away? Botox?

Hello,
The visible veins seen over penis are absolutely normal and there is no need for any sort of cauterization which can worsen the condition even more.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
