Noticed a round spot on penis glan, non itchy & painless. suddenly appeared 2 weeks ago and no change to date. skin appears to be dry/rough on that spot. I am far away from clinic and this worries me. Appreciate if anyone can advise what causes this spot and how to treat this. uncircumcised, photos attached.

Hi Chris this needs to be checked out with your doctor as soon as you can it will need treatment! it's could be a fungal infection?

You could try some antifungal cream and see if it improves but really you should have it checked is there any GUM clinic near you they should be able to help they have doctors if you can't see your own doctor. It could be one of the lichen skin condition as well so it would need to be checked.

Get it checked from a dermatologist. Could be an infection.

Yes you may try Canesten cream ( in morning) and Betnovate cream ( at night) for a couple of days and see if it helps.
Canesten contains Clotrimazole.
Betnovate contains Betamethasone.
It you can't get the same brand, get the same salts.
Quit using if the condition worsens.
Try to fix an online appointment with a doc if it's possible in your area.
And what's your sexual history... did you engage in unprotected sex lately?
