Q: Painless bruise like streak on the corona of my penis

asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 10th, 2007

I have a painless bruise like streak on the corona of my penis. Not sure what it is but am worried sick . It seems to have appeared somewhere between last week and yesterday, I am sure it wasn't there last week, as I regularly clean it on a daily basis by retracting my foreskin.

Here is a picture of it

Should I see a doctor? Is this serious?

Thanks

According to the picture, the penis lesion could be some type of bleeding in the penis’s skin (haematoma), probably dye to some mechanical trauma. If it is as I imagine, there is probably nothing to be worried about because it will probably pass spontaneously in 10 days. If not, you can make an appointment with a dermatovenerologist.
