I'm 23 now and have had this small lesion on one side of my scrotum since I was 14. Occasionally, I notice some black colored dead skin coming off it. I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be angiokeratoma. It's not painful, but I'm worried because it seems to be spreading slowly. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?
