What Causes Mild Discoloration At The Penis Opening?

I have noticed a slight discolouration on the head of my penis. It isn t always very noticeable but just worries something is wrong. I have had 2 partners only one in the last year and we have sex at least a few times a week. I just noticed this a week ago and it isn t going away. It s more noticeable when in the shower also.

Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

Discoloration or spots on the penis are very common and often without any cause. They may appear as just brownish discolorations or as papules or plaques
You may have similar dark color patches else where in your body. If you have no other complaints and are otherwise healthy, then you need not worry

However if the lesion is painful or tender , or if it is slightly elevated from skin , if it feels slightly harder than adjacent skin than i would strongly suggest you to see a urologist or skin specialist and get the discoloration examined by a professional to rule out any underlying medical condition including an STD

I hope it help
