Are Moles On The Penis A Concern?

Posted on Fri, 26 Aug 2016

Question: i keep seeing new moles appear on my penis, are these safe?

Answered by Dr. Ralph Chambers (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Hello. If these just suddenly appear they aren't moles

Detailed Answer:

Hello.

It would certainly help if you could show me a photo of these. you can simply upload them at the reports section..

More likely than moles would be Fordyce spots which are benign small cysts that appear on the penis. They aren't dangerous and if necessary they can be treated either with Tretinoin cream or with a cold CO2 laser by a dermatologist..

Please let me know if you need any more information

I am seeing new moles appear on my penis and am not sure if they are safe. I asked a doctor a couple years ago but since then more have appeared. I am uploading several pictures where there are many dark spots visible. If you have difficulty viewing them I will re-upload them later with the moles circled

Brief Answer:
Hello. These are Fordyce spots

Detailed Answer:
Fordyce spots, again, are benign cysts and nothing serious. But have your doctor look at them. I did look at all your photos
