I am concerned, because the head of my penis is changing color. Some parts of it are purple. Not completely dark purple but somewhat purple. It burns and hurts. I have been tested for stds, HIV and that s all clean. They did however diagnose me with hpv. Doctors have said that it is a yeast infection, and prescribed me some steroidal creams. It still seems to hurt and have been overall feeling awful. It burns and hurts. Blood tests have been done and they come out fine. What else could it be?
HPV is not a yeast infection. It is a viral infection that causes genital warts. Steroid creams are not effective for either yeast or HPV. There are no pills or creams that can be taken for HPV. If you have visible lesions, they can be removed by certain procedures. This color change is concerning. Purple color suggests something local with the blood flow, kind of like a bruise. The burning and hurting go along with a blood flow problem, and the overall awful feeling suggests something more significant. These are not typical symptoms of HPV. I suggest you see a urologist or dermatologist specialist to evaluate this more fully, and very soon. Hope this helps.
