A member asked:

I have recently shaved , however i am not sure as to why i have a small red spot at the root of penis. the place connecting to scrotum.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red spot: I suspect that this is a benign dilation of tiny capillaries and they are relatively common in the scrotum. If you still have concerns have your physician,dermatologist or urologist examine and advise you.
