Brown Patch On Penis

[hyphen14]

Hi, i seem to have a brown patch on my penis. I have had one on the middle of my shaft, sort of like a brown ring that goes around the whole shaft and then a 1 inch spot on the right lower side of the shaft.

There is no discomfort or anything. The spot is not raised and does not inflame. I've actually had the spot for about 2 years and my penis is completely normal...just the discoloration is a little bothering. I have been looking around and Cancer is extremely rare since i am circumsized and have great hygeine, but vitiligo, or natural hyperpigmentation of the skin, seems to be the most plausable explanation. Anyone know any over the-counter creams that i could use, or does anyone have any of the same symptoms as me and has information on it.  My insurance won't cover a doctors visit so any information on these symptoms would be greatly appreciated.

Be advised that I am not a doctor.

That symptom is suspicious for penile cancer, though, it may very well not be. Go to an E.R. if you cannot see a regular physician.

The higher risk would be in the case that you are uncircumsized. I am not sure of this in your case. This wouldm, however, raise your danger level.

Thanks,
JCmcc.

If this is something new, i would have it checked out with you MD. If this is something that you have noticed over many years it is probably the scare discoloration from your circumsision. I have the same brownish ring.
