What Are The Causes Of Dark Marks On Penis And Shaft ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with genital warts/Hpv over a year ago...recently I noticed the glans on my penis have dark track marks & the upper portion of my shaft (circumcised) has also seemed to change to a darker color more so on the sides then anywhere else. Any ideas?

Hi...thank you for the query. With which medications you were treated for genital herpes?were you declared cured? because these dark marks may be due to after effect of medications or due to recurrence of herpes. Secondly..are you sexually active now & whether you practice safe sex? My advice is you should meet your doctor & get yourself evaluated for all sexually transmitted diseases including HIV. Good luck
