For as long as I can remember (since I started masturbating at least, about 8-10 years ago), I've had a small brown spot on the underside of my penis. It doesn't hurt and its about 1 cm across in diameter. It's not a bump either, just a skin discoloration. I haven't been concerned with it, since I've had it forever, but I thought I should ask if this is normal or something I should get checked out.
it's normal. Looks like your cock has a tanline right? I think it's from the nderside of your shaft resting on your sweaty ball sack all day over the years.
I would say its normal. If it does not hurt or cause any problems then there is no immediate need to see a professional. Just see a doctor if your worried, he/she will tell you its normal most likely though. If you are circumsized, then I would agree that it is from that, I have a similar thing, underside, centered, nearish to the head.
Nothing to worry about. It's a freckle! Had mine all my 50 some years. It's great showing lady docs and nurses and pretending concern.
Brown spots around 1cm in diameter are technically dysplastic naevii — an abnormal proliferation of melanin in the skin. On rare occasions melanoma can grow within these (whether or note exposed to the sun doesn't matter), that's why they should not be removed or treated in any way, but if they grow in diameter, become itchy, red or with rough scaly edges, irrespective of where it is an examination should be made. If you are concerned then an examination might put your mind to rest. It is by no means a shocking thing to have — naevii are on most people's backs, often in clumps; elsewhere they are dispersed or isolated. If you have any other naevii any where else on your body, an examination would then be strongly recommended. There is no treatment other than precursory monitoring over a long, long period of time for changes in appearance (and there may not be any change in appearance over life term). Dysplastic naevii are a genetic trait within my family, so we are well versed in identifying them as opposed to "moles", "freckles" or "spots".
