I always have gas no matter what I eat, and today I had corn and I am so uncomfortable. I have been taking over-the-counter heartburn medicine and Phazyme for the gas.

I have 2 small purple spots on the top of my penis. They do not hurt, and I'm unsure if they are just bruises. The person who performed oral sex is apparently clean, but I remember feeling teeth during the act. What could these spots be, and should I be concerned about any other changes?
