ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about body changes and other things that can signal a problem that may need medical care. Use the menu to see other pages.
Men with penile cancer may experience the following symptoms or signs. Sometimes, men with penile cancer do not have any of these changes. Or, the cause of a symptom may be a different medical condition that is not cancer.
A growth or sore on the penis, especially on the glans or foreskin, but cancer also occurs on the shaft
Changes in the color of the penis
Thickening of the skin on the penis
Persistent discharge with a foul odor beneath the foreskin
Blood coming from the tip of the penis or from under the foreskin
Unexplained pain in the shaft or tip of the penis
Irregular or growing bluish-brown flat lesions or marks beneath the foreskin or on the penis
Reddish, velvety rash beneath the foreskin
Small, crusty bumps beneath the foreskin
Swollen lymph nodes in the groin

If you are concerned about any changes you experience, please talk with your doctor. Your doctor will ask how long and how often you've been experiencing the symptom(s), in addition to other questions. This is to help figure out the cause of the problem, called a diagnosis.
If cancer is diagnosed, relieving symptoms remains an important part of cancer care and treatment. This may also be called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care. Be sure to talk with your health care team about the symptoms you experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
The next section in this guide is Diagnosis. It explains what tests may be needed to learn more about the cause of the symptoms. You may use the menu to choose a different section to read in this guide.
