Thank you for the photograph. Your glans penis is perfectly normal. It is common for the glans in circumcised men to look like this and this is because the normal moisturizing effect of the smegma (an oily secretion of the foreskin) is missing. Soaps worsen this though and you should never masturbate with one. Use a lubricating oil or jelly like KY jelly instead. The color of the glans is also normal - it being a very vascular organ often looks darker than the rest of the body.

No active treatment is required. If you desire a moisturizing cream to apply once or twice a day then Cetaphil cream is a good option.

Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago

Hello Vivek, Thank you very much. But still I Think the colour is bcome black compared to last few years. Ok i will use jelly if mastrubation required. The cream you mentioned cetaphil -where it will be available..? Normal medical store or di i need to order from outside? i said little wrinnkles looks on glans when normal stage. Does this cream will help me to reduce the wrinkle? And another skin on my penis also become black nowdays...I understood it might because of mastrubation without using any oil or gelly...anything we can do to improve the black skin colour? Any other cream which can improve? Thank you again..!! (I want it should look good..no too much black..just worrying abt that :) Rgds, s

Dr. Vivek Nair answered : 12 years ago

Good Morning,

You can buy the cream at any medical store or chemist. Yes friction from dry masturbation can sometimes cause darkening of the penis, so lubrication should help with this.

There are other creams which can help lighten skin but these are not recommended for use on the penis. Regards.

Dr. Vivek Nair answered : 12 years ago

Hi again,

I got your response through support. No I would not recommend Hydrocortisone cream since I don't see any inflammation at all on your genitalia. Hydrocortisone cream is not a solution for skin dryness or darkness. If you still want to try it you should not use it more than twice a day for a maximum for 2-3 weeks.

My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

Hi, History told by you favours irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ). There are two alarming signs in your case : Firstly, loss of weight and that to10kg approx. Secondly, sensation of carrying a weight in stomach. Both of them do occurs in IBS. But to be on safer side,I would suggest you to go for colonoscopy again because it was done 1 yr back and symptoms have aggravated few months back. Treatments available for IBS - - Increase the level of physical activity. - Have regular meals and take t ...

Doctor's Answer

Hi! The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative. A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abor ...

Hello. I am 29 years old from Australia and currently am in Tokyo. I had protected sex with a hooker a few nights ago and a hand job from one last night. I am overweight and chafe a lot when walking a lot but I have noticed itchy red lines have developed behind my knees on both sides. Red rashes are between my legs (but is usual for my chafing). Please note I have been walking around all day long in jeans in cold/warm weather so I am not sure if red is inflammation or the start of an STD? Please advise if you think I need to return home immediately for tests or if I am overreacting ? Thank you

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Please tell about your diabetic status. Rashes between your legs, at the back of your knees,in armpits are common, as the area is usually moist and allergic. Rash is common at such a location,and you already told me that chaffing is common to you then it can be because of that only. Looking at your condition that you are unable to wear loose clothes all day long. try and wear loose cotton clothes at some part of the day so that your body can be exposed to fresh air . Try to keep you geni ...
