What Causes A Tiny Black Dot Above Urethra?

Posted on Wed, 3 Dec 2014

Question: Hello, I have a tiny black dot slightly above my urethra. It has been there on and off for about a year.
It is slightly raised above the skin and seems to have the texture of a scab. Sometimes, the "Scab" falls off by brushing against my pants or through some other means and there is usually a stinging sensation associated with this. Once the "Scab" falls off it leaves a small crater until the next "Scab" reappears. I have read about people with the exact same condition, but have not found out what it is, or what to do about it. I spoke with a general practitioner yesterday but, he didn't have much insight.

Thanks for your help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The description you provided indicates that it could be warts or mucous bleeding forming a small clot that worn off subsequently. These however are based solely on the history.

You should monitor for the size of the spot , if there is a growth spurt then a biopsy to rule out cancer may have to be done.

I couldn't see any picture. The picture hasn't been uploaded.

Thanks.
