The main condition that gets missed with a painless genital ulcer is syphilis, as the primary ulcer heals by itself (with or without treatment) and the infection keeps progressing slowly in the body. That’s why ruling out syphilis will be critical, start with a local urgent care or your primary care doc.

An uncircumcised penis is subject to bacterial infections if not washed and cleaned daily. The excess tissue folds collect bacteria that can grow and spread and end up causing an infection. Always keep clean and consider an circumcision if this happens frequently.
