What Does A Round,flesh Raised Around Penis Head Indicate?

Hi. Several months ago, I noticed a small, round, flesh raised around on the head of my penis. Over time, I noticed it began to become more defined and long in length. It doesn't itch or hurt of any sort. Today, the best way I can describe the look of it is by comparing it to a keloid. Looks as though that part of my skin was caught in a zipper or burned. Saw two Urologists and they both were clueless but said it wasn’t a disease of any kind. They referred me to a dermatologist for a 4th opinion. Any thoughts?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from warts.
These are viral infection caused by HPV virus.
Treatment is by local application of keratolytics like salicylic acid.
If you dont get relief with these, radiofrequency ablator can be used to destroy the virus affected skin.
Maintain personal hygiene, wash your feet twice daily with soap and water.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
