Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Purple Discoloration On The Penis Shaft Indicate?
I have some dark purple discoloration on my penis shaft (not head). It is not painful at all. I am 48. Healthy, in-shape. I had sexual intercourse with my girlfriend a few nights ago and noticed it this morning. We always use a condom and have not had this before. The sex was more vigorous a few nights ago. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
