What Do Multiple Dark Spots On Scrotum Indicate?

Dark spots on scrotum, three of which are a tad bigger than the otheres. I've had them for years (I guess) but after shaving down there, I saw um, I have 17 in total and one on the backside of my penis, what is it? Should I be alarmed? I've had an HIV test a year and a half ago which said I was negative, and I have had these "spots" back then even.

Hi,

Some dark spots are normal in the scrotum. In most cases, you should not worry about them. In very few STD, such dark spot can appear. In most cases, the dark spots appear because of fungal infection. If you feel pain, soreness or itching, you should see doctor to take medicines for that "infection". Otherwise just observe and should NOT worry.

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