Cancer or syphilis: Suggest you get it checked asap by a urologist. Hope it turns out to be something benign. But, it has to checked out and treated. Good luck.

Not a good sign: An ulcer there is never a good sign, and could mean you have a very serious venereal disease. You should run, don't walk, to a clinic and be tested. Oh, and please wear a condom! good luck.
