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.

Brief Answer:
An abrasion , or chancroid..

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
As I have mentioned above , if it is not chancre then chances of an abrasion OR chancroid, which exactly gives all same looks and symptoms,but the treatment is simpler than chancre.
Any way , you are going to see a doctor, it is a very good decision.Good Luck.
