What Causes Brown Spots On Penis?
Question: I have recently noticed a brown spot developing in the corner created by my perineal raphe and the rolled skin near the head of my penis. There is no itching or burning or pain. It does not feel rough in texture at all. It is almost imperceptibly raised. I have not had sex in 4+ months.
Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is appearing like a mild fungal infection.
Such infections are usually mild.
I treat such cases with topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole.
It gives good response within 15 days.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you
