Question : I had a blister on the head of my penis. It took about a month to heal but the redness of the area is still
present and marginally tender, which leads me to believe it might be cancerous. Can you advise?

Brief Answer:
hello dear. A cancerous lesion wont heal on its own

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
i have gone through the details.

So as you said a blister lesion got heal but it took longer. Most likely it was a infective lesion but took time as glans penis is an area of continuous moisture. A cancerous lesion will not heal on its own. Cancer will progress and ulcerate and fungate.
You can send an image of the lesion so that I can guide you more. But, for all practical purposes, it doesnot seem a caner.

Thanks and regards
