What Causes A Longstanding Purplish Spot On Left Testicle?
I am 58 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 170 lbs.
I had a vesectamy in my mid twenties. I have a purplish spot on my left testicle that is persistant over the last several months. Some days it is less prevelent than others. Could it be skin cancer ?

Hello,
It may be due to angiokeratomas.
As they are asymptomatic, so no need for active management.
Use support. Avoid strenuous activity.
In case of bleeding, you may require surgical intervention like laser treatment after surgeon consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
