What Does A Purple Spot On The Penis Indicate?

Hey I just received some really painful oral sex. Afterwards I looked at my penis and it has a purple spot on the bottom and the top half looks like it has a dark ring around it and the top half is lighter colored. Ps I used a condom during the oral sex. Is this normal and will my penis go back to its original color soon?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
In some cases purple areas may be normal and doesn’t need to indicate specific disease.
However it his spreads, I would keep a possibility of Lichen planus, particularly annular variety of Lichen Planus, which is common on the genitalis.
I would suggest that you seek an appointment with a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis. Diagnosis is clinical.
Treatment of Lichen Planus is commonly with topical steroids like mometasonepropionate, twice daily for a few weeks. Sometimes oral steroids may be required for widespread or diffuse disease.

A OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine once daily would help you symptomatically with the itch.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
