skin discoloration

[mamuchka]

I recently (one month ago) had lip augmenatation.  Now I have little gray/blue area-like a moustache shape - above my lip.  It is horribly ugly and I am very upset.  Will it go away and why does my skin on my upper lip area itch and feel stiff even after this amount of time.  Will it go away?

i have recently noticed a small reddish discoloration on my penis, i have had no pain with it, itching, or irritation, it is just discolored.  I have had no oozing or anything, it's just slightly red.  I have had oral sex in the past week 2 times, and I am just wondering if it could just be an irritation?  I have no flu like symptoms at all, no pain urinating, or anything of the sort, it's just red, and im just praying that it's not herpes.  Can you tell me what it could possibly be or if it sounds like i have something to worry about?

Can skin discoloration become permanent and is there a way to fix it?

[Alan Rockoff, MD]

I'm afraid you will have to ask the doctor who performed the procedure these questions.  The gray-blue may conceivably be bruising, in which case it will go away over time, without treatment.  You need to call and see the treating physician.

Best.
