i visited dermatologist today.
he said ,there is no problem of discoloring of my penis cap skin( red skin turns to black) and it is a normal thing that removing of the pennis cap top skin regularly. he prescribe me a oily moisturiser.
but what upset my mind is he didn't check the symptoms thoroughly.should i consult another dermatologist to ensure the what he said or be content with what he said.
should i consult a urologist also?
(is it ok consult a genital urinary surgeon instead of urologist? and tell me what is different between these two type of doctors)
please ,reply me as sooon as you can.thanks a lot.

Hello,
It can be either of the possibilities mentioned earlier. Please consult a dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done to confirm the diagnosis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
Since the redness of penis skin has been present for so long, so it can be due to eczema, chronic fungal infections or vascular insufficiency of the skin of penis. In these cases, consultation of both a dermatologist and urologist are required. Investigations like biopsy skin and duplex ultrasound are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
