Patient's question:
Two years ago, a small black spot appeared near the urethral meatus of the glans, gray in color. In the past year, it was found that the small black spot had turned black and melanin, and had grown larger, becoming darker in color. What disease is this? Will it turn cancerous? Which department should I go to at the hospital? First question supplement: How to distinguish between melanin hyperpigmentation and melanoma??Doctor's answer:
If a man discovers a very small black spot on his glans, it is essential to take it seriously and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. This condition is likely a sign of a very serious illness in men, so it must be taken with caution. First, it is necessary to identify the cause of the black spot on the glans. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as itching after the appearance of a black spot on the glans, and the most likely cause of these symptoms is balanitis. However, other diseases cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you come to the hospital in time for relevant examinations to rule out disease factors. The doctor will take appropriate measures based on the specific situation.
