Hello
A mole that has been present for 6–7 years without pain, bleeding, discharge, or obvious change is more likely to be a benign (non-cancerous) mole or another harmless skin lesion. It’s reassuring that it has remained stable for so long.
However, it cannot be identified with certainty without an examination. You should have it checked by a doctor (such as a dermatologist or urologist), especially if you’re unsure whether it has changed.
Seek prompt evaluation if you notice:
* Rapid increase in size * Change in color or irregular borders * Bleeding, ulceration, or persistent itching * New pain or firmness
If it has truly remained unchanged for years and is asymptomatic, it is unlikely to be an emergency, but an in-person assessment can confirm the diagnosis and provide reassurance. If possible, a clear photo can also help with an initial assessment.

Hello dear See mole which is painless in nature and not very big is mostly present due to trauma history. It is not harmful. I suggest you to please observe for any Swelling Pain Discomfort Hopefully you recover soon Regards
Hello It’s completely understandable to feel awkward about a mole or any unusual growth, especially in such a sensitive area. Since it’s been there for 6-7 years and hasn’t caused any severe issues, it might just be a benign mole or skin tag. However, it’s always a good idea to have any persistent growths checked by a healthcare professional, especially if there are any changes in size, color, or sensation.
### What you can do: 1. Consult a Dermatologist: A dermatologist can examine the mole and determine if any further action is needed. They can provide clarity on whether it’s benign or if any treatment is necessary.
2. Monitor for Changes: Keep an eye on the mole for any changes in size, shape, or color. If you notice anything unusual, make sure to mention it during your consultation.
3. Discuss Concerns: If the mole is causing you discomfort or emotional distress, let the doctor know. They can discuss potential removal options if needed.
It’s always better to be safe and get a professional opinion.
Thank you
Hello, Thank you for your question. A small spot or “mole” on the penis that has been present for 6–7 years without pain, bleeding, discharge, or obvious changes is more likely to be a benign (non-cancerous) lesion. Possibilities include a benign mole (melanocytic nevus), a small cyst under the skin, or another harmless skin growth. Based on your description, the fact that it has remained stable for several years and is not causing any symptoms is reassuring. However, it is not possible to make a definite diagnosis without examining the lesion. I would recommend having it examined by a dermatologist or urologist, especially if you are unsure whether it has changed in size, shape, or color over time. They can usually diagnose it with a simple physical examination and determine if any further evaluation is needed.
Prescription / Advice:
Arrange a routine consultation with a dermatologist or urologist for an in-person examination.
Do not try to squeeze, cut, or pick at the lesion.
Monitor it for any changes in size, color, shape, or surface, or if it starts to bleed, ulcerate, become painful, or develop discharge.
If any of these changes occur, seek medical evaluation promptly, as they may require further assessment or a biopsy.
If possible, take a clear photograph now and compare it every few months to check for any noticeable changes.
Overall, a stable, asymptomatic lesion present for many years is usually not an emergency, but it is still worth getting checked once for reassurance and an accurate diagnosis.
