I noticed 2-3 dark spots on my penis (foreskin and shaft) before 1 year. Consulted with dermatologist .but he told that no need to worry. These are normal. But it seems that 1 spot is raised and clearly visible now. I am feeling anxious. Please suggest what to do. Is there any treatment to get rid of these spots.
