new moles on penis shaft

[puyu]

Hi,

I've just discovered that I have 3 moles on the shaft of my penis which I hadn\t noticed before.......The largest is about 3mm diameter and dark brown in colour. The other two look the same but are much smaller, about 1mm diameter. No itching or discomfort, just concerned that they seemed to of appeared 'overnight'.

Hi, Thanks for the query. A mole does not appear overnight and it wont be multiple in nature. Have u had any sexual contact recently? Do u have fever? Meet a dermatologist if it is causing concern. He might prescribe u a local steroid. Have a nice day.

Hello,
It is not possible for moles to appear all of a sudden. It can be due to warts, herpes sores if painful or benign skin growths ( less likely). If there is a history of any unprotected intercourse, then warts is an important possibility. Please get it evaluated from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
