Blac spot on head of the penis

[manobgl]

Recently i had a redness and black spot on head of the penis, i applied Globen-G cream then some dead skins came off, but the black spot didn't clear.

I visited a dermatologist, he examined and said its a lichen planus, and he gave fluster cream in day and metrogyl cream at night to apply, i don't have any pain or itchy, but i am worried about the black spot.

I am 27 yr old unmarried, i don't have any sexual partners,  i got this redness  and black spot on penis head glands 20 days ago, now only the black spot is there with some itch when glands touch the underwear. the black spot is surrounded by 1/2 cm with soft skin compared to other area of glands.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be lichen planus or penile macule. It is a small, sharply circumscribed, pigmented macule surrounded by normal-appearing skin.
You cannot remove them at home. Cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen and laser are the main treatment modalities. Although there are many skin creams like hydroquinone and salicylic acid, but their use needs prescription .I would recommend a dermatologist’s consultation for this.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
