Small birthmark looking spot on the side of my penis shaft. (Photo)

Question

It's about about the size of an O as appeared on the screen. Not raised or causing any discomfort it's just there. Haven't had any complaints with any women. Just curious if that's normal or common or if I should be worried

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. If necessary, this can be removed with lasers, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Larry Lickstein, MD · Answer

While it is reassuring that the lesion is small, uniform in color, has discrete margins, and is asymptomatic, nothing substitutes for a thoughtful physical exam, and as a South Florida resident, you should consider getting routine total body skin surveillance a couple of times each year.  See an experienced Board Certified Dermatologist for assessment.
