Penile cancer can present as redness and irritation on the penis with a skin thickening on the glans or inner foreskin or an ulcerative, outward growing or “finger-like” (papillary) growth. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Penile cancer may accompany penile discharge with or without difficulty or burning or tingling while urinating ( dysuria ) and bleeding from ...
The corona and the neck are highly vascularized areas of the penis. The axial and dorsal penile arteries merge together at the neck before entering the glans. [8] Branches of the dorsal artery of the penis curve around the distal shaft to enter the frenulum and the glans from its ventral surface. [9]
Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis, (PKMB) is a cutaneous condition characterized by skin lesions on the glans penis that are wart-like with scaling. [1]: 657 It can present as a cutaneous horn. [2] PKMB is usually asymptomatic, with occasional irritation, burning sensation, fissuring, or maceration.
Red bumps on the penis that are associated with this condition are caused by HPV. The condition, says Dr. Williams, “is marked by red-brown lesions on the glans or shaft, usually in circumcised men.
Pearly penile papules closeup image. PPPs are a type of angiofibroma. [3] Their function is not well-understood. [1] They are usually considered as vestigial remnants of penile spines, sensitive features found in the same location in other primates. [6] [7] They do not spread and often spontaneously regress. [8]
The penile raphe is a visible line or ridge of tissue that runs on the ventral (urethral) side of the human penis beginning from the base of the shaft and ending in the prepuce between the penile frenulum. [1] [2] The line is typically darker than the rest of the shaft skin, even though its shape and pigmentation may vary greatly among males. [1]
The glans penis receives blood from the internal pudental artery through its branch, the dorsal artery of the penis, which also supplies the foreskin, and the penile shaft. [24] Behind the corona, the terminal branches of the dorsal arteries anastomose with the axial arteries through perforating branches before they end in the glans. [25]
Sclerosing lymphangitis, also known as lymphangiosclerosis or sclerotic lymphangitis, is a skin condition characterized by a cordlike structure encircling the coronal sulcus of the penis, or running the length of the shaft, that has been attributed to trauma during vigorous sexual play.
