Brown patch of discolored skin on penis at the end of a vein it appears, looks like a mole, but it's not, afraid it's a blocked or collapsed vein from too much masturbating, been here 2 weeks, also 3 discolored patches on back of penis, any ideas?

Possible mole: or other skin issue needs to be examined by your doctor. It is not from masturbation but you do need to find out what it is. Peace and good health.

Should not, so go: get tested for infection, particularly herpes and gonorrhea. Many STDs cause a painful lesion on the penis. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
