What Causes A Dark Spot On Penis?

Posted on Tue, 15 Sep 2015

Question: I found a single round flat dark spot on the shaft of my penis, about an inch from the head. It doesn't hurt, but it's new and I'm worried. I've been with the same partner for years. I also had a rash with bumps that started on my finger, I had just went camping and thought it was poison Ivy. And within a week I noticed the rash around my testicles and butt crack. Figured that I accidentally spread the poison Ivy by scratching myself and didn't think much of it. It went away about a week ago, but now I found this dark spot. Could they be related or coincidence? Any ideas?
