Brief Answer:
explained
Detailed Answer:
hello and welcome.
please bear in mind that MOST spots that you might find on your penis are likely to be completely harmless
If its possible , upload a photograph of the area involved to assess it better.
Men are understandably concerned if they notice spots on their penis. They are frequently worried they may have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or some form of cancer. In fact, spots aren't often a sign of sexual infection, and they are almost never a sign of cancer.
Symptoms like Pain itching , inflammation , burning urination , sexual dysfunction and associated lymph node enlargement can make it a matter of concern but the course of action would only be decided after a physical exam of the patient by a doctor.
Let me know if you have any query
thanks
