What Causes Dark Circular Spots At The Base Of Penis?
Hi. I have 2 very dark brown circular spots/lesions (not sure what to call them( at the base of my penis, hidden in the pubic hair. Just noticed one on my penis shaft and another coming up to to right of the 2 in my pubic hair. Kind of concerned as to what these are.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to fungal infection, tinea corporis. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying. If you were my patient with such condition then I would recommend using ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like flucinolone for local application. I also advise fluconazole tab weekly once orally for 1 month to stop recurrence. Change sweaty clothes in time and use loose cotton underwear. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
