What Causes A Painful Black Spot Near The Groin?
Hi this question is actually about my husband...he has this small dark spot by his groin area and it does cause him pain and discomfort and sometimes affects intimacy. We thought it was a bruise but it has been there for months now. He can t recall injuring it though...Any thoughts?

Hello,
Painful black spots in the groin are commonly fungal infections (Tine Cruris). He can take a course of fluconazole & apply Clotrimazole cream in the affected area.
It should get reduced. However, you are suggested to get your husband clinically examined by a GP.
Since he is sexually active he should get STD tests done to rule out any STI infection to stay on the safer side.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
