Should i be concerned?
by lance, Nov 11, 2000 12:00AM
About 3 days ago i noticed a small very light pink spot on the shaft of my penis, it was barely noticable and i didn't think much of it. The next morning the spot was a bit larger and a dark purple color. It didn't hurt but the discoloring stayed for 2 days. Now the area seems to be getting lighter. I have only had unprotected sex once in my life and that was about 9 or 10 months ago so i don't think it's an STD. Is this just a skin blemish that was agitated during masterbation? or possably something worse? your thoughts are appriciated. thanks.
