    These appear to be natural it is actually quite common they are referred to as "craters" sometimes they can be caused by genital warts falling off over time. These do not appear to have any infection. If they concern you further a dermatologist can further advise you.

    Crater generally appear if you have virak or bacterial infection. You may or may not have symptoms of pain in the area at first, but may get painful urination.

    Do you have symptoms of pain anywhere in other parts of body, fever, nausea,

    weight loss, rash, night sweats and fatigue?

      Nope don't have any of that! If it wasn't for me looking I wouldn't even know I had them. As I say, I've had them for ages but just wondered what they were

      Thanks for the responses people
