Brown spots on penis/around penis hairline

by CuriousBoy101, Jan 17, 2008 08:14PM
Hello, for the past few months I have found brown spots on the base of my penis.  They are no bigger then a pin head.  I have also noticed a few around the shaft of my penis.  I do shave the hair around my penis on a regular basis.  Any idea what the cause of this is??

Hi,

This could be due to acne/pimples/ or infection of the hair follicles called folliculitis or some bacterial infection/ fungal infection or some skin nodules etc.

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

It would be best to reconsult your doctor about your symptoms if they do not resolve and get a proper clinical examination.

Keep the area clean and wear clothes washed in a few drops of chlorhexidine preferably and dried in the sun.

Avoid shaving for some days till you consult your doctor and apply calamine lotion and some over the counter antibacterial cream on the lesions.

You could take oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications for the itching.

Let us know about what your doctor advises.

Regards.
