What causes a crater-like hole on base of shaft that's painless, skin colored, has not gone away in years and is not syphilis?

Q: what causes a crater-like hole on base of shaft that's painless, skin colored, has not gone away in years and is not syphilis?

: It is a normal anatomic variation and not a cause for concern. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
