What causes black discoloration around the urethra?
Patient: Around the pee hole is dark or black and seem to be spreading I have no burning or irritation but a whole lot of pain in the upper left side under the breast and it travels around to the back area under the shoulder bone and straight down the side then to the lower part of the stomach Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Discoloration around urethra is not a thing to worry about if it is not causing any symptom. It is normal to have slight discoloration around the genitalia and urethra in some males.It is not  a symptom of any sexually transmitted disease.However if it becomes associated with any symptom like itching,burning,discharge from penis or pain in penis,then it needs to be evaluated.  I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask. Take care.
