What Causes Dark Discolouration On Penis?
Question: skin on penis becoming darker. also the skin is sticky on the shaft. been to a urologist and General practitioner with no diagnosis. just to keep an eye on it but it looks bad to me.
Brief Answer:
I sugest you to apply a topical moderately potent steroid
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome back and thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have noted down your concern. I have reviewed the Images that you had attached with your earlier query.
I can see that there is a patch which is darker and more rugose as compared to surounding skin. This could either be a due to a dermatitis which can present as itching and increase in thickness of skin. I suggest you to apply a topical moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% Or mometasone furoate 0.1% cream Or triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream, twice daily for 2-4 weeks and it should improve.
Regards
