Question 1

Ive noticed this dark to brown patch right next to the meatus for around three months, and I can't help but worry. I have this maniac disorder that makes me check my penis a lot, like 8 to 10 times a day, because I'm paranoid about any unusual reactions. Doing this before once caused me to get balanitis. Now, Im freaking out that this brown patch might be related to those habits. Initially, I thought it might be a vein left behind, but now it doesn't seem like that. An online doctor mentioned it could be melanosis. Could this possibly be skin cancer, like melanoma, or am I overthinking this? Can checking and friction really turn that areas skin color to brown or tan?

Accepted Answer

Given your previous history and negative blood test results for HSV 1 and 2, it is less likely that the current symptoms are due to herpes. It is important to consider other possible causes such as a fungal infection, contact dermatitis, or another type of bacterial infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2 weeks to see if there is any improvement. If there is no improvement or if the symptoms worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
