What Causes Reddish Spot Between Pubic Area And Leg?
Hello, I have noticed an oval like spot between my groin and left leg near the testicles. I ve seen it for a few years, no pain or changes as I can remember. It seems to be slightly reddish compared to the surrounding skin, and is less than 1cm long. I m not too sure what it is, but I ll sleep easier knowing, thanks!

Hello,
The oval spot might be any of the following:
1) An insect bite
2) A mole
3) A flea bite
4) Ring worm infection
5) Contact dermatitis
6) Eczema
If it increases in size or changes in color, you need to go to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
