What Could A Sensitive Small Pink Sore Located On Pubic Area Right Before The Shaft Of Penis Signify?

I just discovered a small pink sore about the size of a dime located on my pubic area right before the shaft of my penis begins. It just feels like raw skin as if something had been rubbing on it for too long although I don t recall that happening. I workout intensely everyday and shower twice a day. I m hoping it s the dry weather in this Chicago winter. It doesn t sting or itch really, it s just sensitive to the touch.

Hello,
It is my privilege to be able to help you,
As you are having pinkish sore near your shaft of penis.
As you are doing workout daily there may be the friction between the skin and the dry weather also favor this condition.
Sweating in that area will be more that would have precipitated your condition which favors the survival of the infective agent.
I would have suggested you to keep that area dry by applying some medicinal powder.
If it is not improving i suggest you to consult a Dermatologist or a STD Specialist.
Thank you
