What Causes A Small Black Spot On The Penis?

I just noticed a small black spot on the right side of my penis. It s approximately 3-5mm in diameter and resembles a smudge from a black marker. It is not raised, rough, itchy, or tender at all. Also, it has appeared suddenly, within the last 48 hours. What could this be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be an angiokeratoma. It is a benign condition and does not cause much problems. No active treatment is required either. You can consult a dermatologist for reassurance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
