What Causes Discoloration In Head Of Penis With Small Bumps Around?

Hey. I noticed the head of my penis was discolored. Just the head tho. Like it was suffocated or had no blood flow kind of nasty purple kind of color. No pain tho nor flaking of skin. No itching or irritations. Little goose bumps looking bumps around the lip that sprays the head from the shaft. I m circumcised, if that means anything. What could cause that??

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that you could be having bacterial infection of the skin of glans of your penis.
Kindly do the following to overcome the symptoms.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon thrice daily.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin with hydrocortisone cream underneath the foreskin and glans.
3. Apply moisturizer cream/lotion during bedtime.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and avoid friction in the affected area.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain clean and good personal hygiene.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should feel better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
