I've noticed these brown spots on the head of my penis for the last couple of months, and they seem to be getting bigger. They dont itch or hurt, but I'm worried because they darken when I press or scratch them. I did some research and it looks like it might be penile melanosis, but I'm not really sure. It's starting to mess with my head a bit, you know? Health-wise, everything's the same, no issues there. I've been trying Sonaderm NM, but it's not making any difference. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? It's just these two patches on top, but I'm kind of concerned.

I've got this pretty big lump, even bigger than a quarter, right in my butt crack, about three inches from my anus. I think it might have pus in it. I've had smaller lumps like this before, but they've never been this big or painful. What could be going on, and should I be worried about it?

Surgeon opinion.
