A member asked:

I have a small black dot on the skin of my penis. do i have cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Watch for two weeks: If it is not gone by two weeks, and it does not look like an ordinary benign pigmented lesion like you have elsewhere, then have it seen. The likelihood that this is cancer is very small, but it would need to be looked at.
