Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your question.
This could be a syphillis chancre. That is the characteristic finding on the skin with syphillis. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible and be tested for syphillis and other sexually transmitted infections so that you can be prescribed the appropriate treatment.
Don't delay see a doctor right away.
Let me know if you have further questions.
