                                    Brief Answer:
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE PRIMARY CHANCRE IN PHOTO
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for photo. I have seen it,and,
Yes does not look like primary chancre in photo.
But there is no harm in getting the test done before it increases or spreads.
If not see a doctor, clinically it may come out to be some thing else.
If it is an abrasion, then it should have healed by now.
Hope you have answer to your query, if any thing else you are welcome,or you can close the question and rate the answer.
Good luck.
