A member asked:

I recently noticed a brown spot/line on the head of my penis and another on the side .. it's flat and painless. is this normal? ps;never had sex

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible mole: although possibly a mole which can develop anywhere and anytime. If new, even without pain, should be looked at by physician. Verbal descriptions are not as likely to allow accurate diagnosis compared to direct visualization
