A member asked:

I have a dime sized spot on shaft of my penis it doesn't hurt and the color is light red to dark like a bruise and a light red circle in center?

STD: You could have syphilis if you are sexually active and had sex with a partner who has multiple sexual partners. Syphilis can start as painless nodule in shaft of penis which can ulcerate later. See your doctor to have it checked and do appropriate test and treatment.
