Could this be Penile Cancer/ Very Worried

by SR2337, Feb 26, 2008 10:08PM
Tags: cancers, penis
I have had a red spot on the head of my penis that is slightly raised and has a shinny, it is not itchy or burn when i urinate or hurt in any way. I went to my doctor and was told that it was not an STD(i was also tested), my doctor asumed that it was probably a fungis and gave me cream which i used and it seemed to work a little by reducing the redness of the spot, but it was still slightly raised and shinny. A few weeks later the redness came back and now that i started using the cream again its worked again to reduce the redness but nothing else has changed. I just want to know what this could be if its not a fungis, i'm worried that it could be cancer, can you please help me? I added a picture so that it would be easyer to diagnose.

Thank You

Hi,

I do understand your concern. I feel that you are highly anxious about this. Please tell me more about yourself:

How old are you?

Have you been smoking? If yes, for how long?

Do bear with my next questions as they may be sensitive and quite personal but i deem them to be relevant

May I ask if you have been sexually active or recently have engaged in unprotected sex?

Is there a strong family history of cancer in the family?

Do keep us posted with your answers.
