Hello saifi007,
Welcome again to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us for help.
But, you need to call and schedule an appointment with your primary care physician. You need to be examined in person.
The presence of black spots on the scrotum, medically termed as angiokeratoma of Fordyce, is actually a benign condition. Yet, most men are afraid that this might be a sign of an STI, which is not true. This might be what you have, but only a physician can make the diagnosis.
Angiokeratomas are characterized by dark red or purple benign, vascular spots or papules. These are comprised of damaged, dilated cutaneous capillaries and will easily bleed if scratched. These spots change into black or dark purple once blood clots have formed.
Keep us updated,
