I have a small patch on my penis, and I would like to know what's wrong with it.

The patch is somewhat similar to this photo:

But not so much. It is just a small patch. May I know what may be the problem? And also any cures?

    Hard to say.  Which part of the penis is it on, how large is it, and how long has it been there?  Does it change much?

      Its one the shaft of my penis facing me. Basically the upper side. And it's not so large, just around 1 cm. It was there from the past 2 weeks. I guess it grew bigger.

      It's probably nothing to worry about - possibly eczema??, but I'd get it checked out if I were you.  You could either see your GP or a local genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic.  Just google "GUM clinic near me" to find the nearest one.  Good luck!

      That certainly looks unusual, but I have no idea what it could be.  Could you have been bitten by an unusual insect?  Definitely something I'd get a doctor to look at, especially as it seems to be growing, and seems to be slightly different on the perimeter.
