Hi. Just to ask you few questions in the beginning. Are you diabetic? Are you married / have sex partner? The condition which you described is called balano-posthitis and simply an infection of the area and need a simple remedy. So do not worry. It will NEVER become cancer in future. It needs an antibiotic,, meronidazole, an antifungal tables ( to be taken by both if you have a sexual partner) , no sex till you get OK. Visit a Dermatologist.
