Hello- during sexual arousal, the penis can take on a reddish, almost purple color because of the increased blood flow to its blood vessels and glands. But there are other potentially serious reasons why your penis might turn a different color. The causes of penile discoloration can range from a zipper-inflicted bruise to penile cancer, a rare condition that represents less than 1 percent men. In some cases, a change in penis color is a sign of a sexually transmitted disease (std) or a noncontagious, harmless skin condition. Penile discoloration is almost always a cause for a medical evaluation. It may end up being temporary and relatively benign, but you shouldn?t make that diagnosis on your own. If the change in color is due to an underlying cause that?s medically serious, getting a diagnosis and starting treatment earlier is always a smart approach.
