What Causes Brown Spots On Penis Glans?
My boyfriend has irregularly shaped brown spots on his glans. I don't want to make him feel self conscious but I also don't know if they are signs of an std. They are unraised, almost like freckles, and totally painless. What is this, should I get checked?

Hello,
Brown freckles on glans commonly are Penile melanosis also called penile lentiginosis. They are not infections, harmless and do not require any treatment.
However, you can get him physically examined by a GP & get confirmed about the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
