Suggest Remedy For Discolored Foreskin

Posted on Wed, 26 Nov 2014

Question: I portion of my foreskin near the center is discolored, like purple or blue. Underneath seems normal. Not sure if it is coincidence, but I just had intercourse (condom) with oral prior to seeing this.

Brief Answer:
Subcuticular hematoma

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

Thanks for your query and a clear picture.
This looks to be a subcuticular Hematoma formation- rather extravasation of the blood from the vein underneath caused by the sexual act.

This may not any active treatment at the moment.
My policy would be to wait and watch and start any treatment only if there is further problem. No sexual activity till this gets completely resolved.
