brown spot on penis
by allew, Jan 20, 2007 12:00AM
hello,
ive had this brown spot on the shaft of my penis for some time now, i think a couple of months that I can remember. Ive just began to pay attention to i the last couple of weeks and began to wonder if it is a genital wart. The spot is not raised and is a little bigger than the size of a pen head. its not shiny and doesnt feel like it has any texture or growth to it...its just kind of stayed the same. Anyway, i was wondering if this could possibly be a genital wart? Ive been reading online and some sites say that they can be brown...is this true? I also thought that warts grew kind of fast once they start, is this true? because some websites give different information than that. I had always thought they had a kind of cauliflower type appearance to them and were flesh colored. if you could please shed some light on this i would really appreciate it.
thanks
