Spontaneous appearance of dark lesion on penis foreskin
Hello, I would just like to get an opinion...
A year ago, I noticed a spot on the foreskin of my penis (uncircumcised). While it was as large as a pin's head, this has noticeably grown over the last year and is about 1.5-2mm when the skin is stretched (see attached picture).
It is quite difficult to find a Dermatologist in the area where I live, so I would like to know whether I should be worried and seek an expert's opinion.
Thanks!
