A member asked:

Help, i have black dot on rim of penis head?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

Likely, just a varix: Likely, the black dot is just an harmless varix, which requires no Rx as long as being painless and no change in size over time. Of course, without a detailed Hx with sequence of event and a direct look, it's hard to come up an accurate Dx as wished. So, see Doc timely if still in doubt. Best wish ...

I have a small black bump right below the head of my penis. It doesnt hurt or itch and its about the size of a period. I can barely see that it does protrude from the skin. I noticed it a couple of months ago and has not grown?
