What Causes Dark Spot On Penis?
Hi Dr. , Just recently I noticed a dark spot in the size of a quarter appear on my penis, few days after I had intercourse. I never had this before. I don't know why this has happened. Could this be because of abrasion or could it be from a sexually transmitted illness?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Dark spot on penis after intercourse could be from sexually transmitted disease like genital herpes. Classic genital herpes lesions resemble small pimples or blisters that eventually crust over and finally scab like a small cut. So the possibility of herpes in you is less.
It could be due to trauma from abrasion. This can cause collectionof blood which can appear as black large spot.
Sexual transmitted infection can be transmitted through sexual contact, so until you figure out what you have, you should to be extra about protecting your partner from direct contact with the lesions or from genital to genital contact.
The best thing to do would be to visit a physician, and he would make a specific diagnosis & treat accordingly.
Hope your query is solved
