Black mark on penis
Hello Doctor,
I’ve had this dark spot on the skin of my penis for several years (around 6+ years). It has not caused any pain, itching, bleeding, or growth in size during this time. It appeared after the foreskin was retracted fully when I was younger.
I’m attaching a clear photo of the area for your reference.
Could you please help me understand:
1. What could this spot possibly be (e.g., birthmark, mole, melanosis, or something else)?
2. Is this something I should be concerned about?
3. Should I get any tests or a physical examination?
4. Can this be checked online or through a free dermatology consultation?
Thank you for your guidance.
Best regards,

The image is not displayed. Black spot on penis could be either a mole or benign melanosis or inflammatory. Diagnosis can be made only after examination. Venereal diseases should be promptly treated. If financials are concerned you can look for a free skin health camp close to your area or consult online.

If the thing is about youe self and your health6, i guess no need to look for "free". Charges taken by doctors or hospitals are also for their expertise and their hard work they did in young age and also maintainence to run the same.
