Mole or WHAT on shaft of Penis?

Hi, I just noticed this mole-like growth on shaft on my penis and can't determine if this is something to I should be worried about. I generally test every 6 mths or so for STDs. Not sure if this thing is normal or something that should get checked. Thanks.

Not an STD.However a fungal infection,or a localized seborrhea/psoriasis need to be ruled out.Best to consult.

Hello,
It looks like a mole or seborrehic keratosis. If you notice changes in the mole's/mark’s color, height, size or shape, you should have a dermatologist evaluate it. You also should have it checked for a melanoma if it bleeds, oozes, itches, appear scaly, or become tender or painful. Otherwise it should be left as such. Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
