    Is it just red or is it white in the middle? Like a mouth ulcer.

      It's somewhat white at some place on the surface. But the shape is quite irregular.I think it has grown due to excessive sweat in that area.

      I am thinking it may be an ulcer. Do you have any other health issues at the moment?

      Hey. It is just that I have Behcet's and ulceration in that area is familiar to me. I would go to a doctor anyway and have a swab taken to establish what it is.
