Why do I have black discolouration on the tip of my penis?
Question
I am a 32 years old man and have noticed a bit of blackness near the tip of penis (glans penis) for the last few days. Is this normal to have blackness near the tip? I am unmarried and have not had sex but I do some masturbation. Few days back I had minor pain in my glans and chemist prescribed me an ointment Fucibet from Ranbaxy (antibacterial corticosteroid). I applied it for two days on my glans and then stopped it as the pain relived. Please advise.

If the black discolouration is since childhood, then it is likely to be a harmless congenital problem. If acquired, it may be post inflammatory pigmentation or a disorder like lichen planus. If it is symptomatic or if it continues to progress, then it is advisable that you consult a dermatologist.
