Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Brown spots on your testicle which bleed are most likely to be Angiokeratomas.
Angiokeratoma are benign tumors of vascular origin.
More common in your age(>60 yrs).
They are benign, mostly asymptomatic.(can be itchy in some)
Bleed on trauma.

Treatment of angiokeratomas can be RF cautery/cryothearapy.

They wont cause much trouble even if not treated.

However there can be many other conditions with similar presentatation.
Perhaps a visit to your DERMATOLOGIST /physician will help in diagnosis and treatment.

It would be more informative if you send me a picture of the lesion.
I would be able to help you in predicting the condition .

You can upload the photos here or mail me the photos to YYYY@YYYY with subject:ATTN Dr Sudarshan.
Please do confirm the sending of the photos by writing here, so that I can reply you back at the earliest.

Awaiting your response.
