Accepted Answer

: If this is a firm,painless lesion, syphilis is a possibility. Go to a men's sexual health clinic or call your public health office to get instructions on available testing.

Question 2

extra skin on my penis, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not if loose: Extra skin is foreskin. Ur like more than 50% of world's male population if uncircumcised. No concern if it retracts easily for hygiene. Same applies if your question relates to extra foreskin remaining after circumcision. Should be treated if extra skin is either stuck to glans or forms tight ring. Urologist can help if this is the case. Either way, don't be concerned, either no problem or fixabl.

Question 3

i think i chaffed my skin on my penis , there's a darker patch on it. how can i heal it ?

Accepted Answer

Chaffed penis skin: I would recommend a small amount of A and D ointment - available in the drugstore without a prescription.   That will help heal it.    You could also use a small amount of triple antibiotic ointment or vaseline.    I would NOT use hydrocortisone cream.   of course I would refrain from whatever activity caused the chaffing in the first place.
