growth on penis skin

by lhorrigan101, Dec 15, 2007 04:12AM
i have got this growth near the base of my penis shaft. it is a skin like growth. it just appeared like a rash in the past 4 - 6 weeks. what could this be? it doesnt itch. it is just there?
what can i do?

A growth usually refers to a bump of some sort.  A rash usually means a red, dry, pimply, or scaly patch.  Either way, if it just came up in a few weeks, it's not likely ot be anything serious.  The only way to find out what it is is to haev a doctor see it in person.  That's what you should do.

Best.
