What Causes Scabs On The Shaft Of Penis?
ive had a tiny scab on the shaft of my penis for years, seriously years. ive had it checked out and the doc told me it was just an abrasion and not to worry. Can it be treated? its always there no bigger then the head of a pencil. Once in the shower i washed the scab off and it began to bleed quite a bit. Ive been tested and have had the same partner of years without her contracting any std? any ideas?

Hi. If the scab is for years and causing no problems , do not worry and leave it alone. If it is causing any problems or is causing you tensions, it can be excised under local anesthetic and subjected to biopsy. The best part it will be removed
