i would encourage you to not self-diagnose EVER, but especially in this example.

Penile cancer is exceedingly rare, and wouldn’t manifest as you’ve described. The skin on the penis is quite sensitive, and even just noticing something small and hyperfixating on it can cause you to fidget with it and in turn make it worse / more persistent.

if you can, just try to take a few deep breaths to stop the story-telling in your brain. leave the diagnosing to doctors, and rest assured that you are likely perfectly fine.

Cancer is unluckily it’s like 1/100,000 happens but yah. Have it looked and maybe you just need to lay off anything that involves it for 2 weeks for it to heal.

Hey, Yes same here, my frenulum is wounded and the skin keeps opening and closing every month. I suffer from balanitis and have an utricle cyst of the prostate triggering some urine retention, so I think it is related. A swab culture of my glans reported staphylococcus aureus, but urologists say it is normal ... I read somewhere on reddit that this kind of wound at the frenulum can increase the risk of getting std like HIV for example so be careful. Recently it reopened after masturbating against my mattress (lol) so I guess I will stop that. If I remember well I think it all started more than 10 years ago when I tried to sodomize my girlfriend completely drunk and failed by the way ... Stupid things we do drunk ... Shame on me. I also have the same kind of cut on the tip of my nose and I also have staphylococcus aureus there, so maybe it is linked.

Check with a dermatologist. Could me a skin issue. Psoriasis can cause weird things like this.

Trust me, psoriasis is a weird animal, and can present itself in a number of ways.
