Question : I have 1/4" black spots and larger red ones near the head of my penis. Is there need for concern ?
Brief Answer:
yes, see doctor immediately
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question
These spots sound serious. I would be concerned about infection or a type of skin cancer with large black and red spots on the penis. Please see a doctor as soon as possible for examination and testing for infections.
Do not delay, it this is infection or cancer it can only get worse until you have treatment.
Go to urgent care or see your doctor today.
