Blue penis
by needhelp680, Jul 12, 2008 10:58AM
I was wearing adult diapers for about 3 years and severely irritated my penis. I have stopped wearing the diapers for the past 6 months. I now have red blotches that look like scars that will not go away. I also recently noticed that there is a section of the head of the penis that is blue. Does anyone know how to cure the blotches/scarring and what could be causing the blue discoloration? I am really concerned. I am supposed to see a urologist this week.

What was the reason for the prolonged use of diapers? Have you been experiencing urinary incontinence all these years?
The blue discoloration may be a skin reaction to the moisture and dampness of the diapers. It may be an allergic condition or a vascular condition. At this point, a complete urologic examination is important. We have to determine if this is just a superficial skin problem or if it involves deeper structures such as penile blood vessels.
A penile ultrasound may be done.
