    James, this is the location of Tyson Glands, in most men that have them they are usually very apparent, so what you MAY have is one of these that only becomes visible when it is sufficiently irritated.

    What it also looks like is a bit of a scar, or the remnants of scar tissue: there are several possible explanations for that - such as the area being wounded in some way in previous years. One possibility here is that when your foreskin detached from the shaft of your penis it created the skin formation you have now.

    Because of the location most males do not pay much attention to what is happening there, with one simple explanation being that you may have had a regular build up of dampness in the area that has not been cleared away.

    Whatever it is you have going on: wash the entire head and foreskin area as often as you can, then make sure you are completely dry. When you urinate, have sex or masturbate ensure that any fluids are cleared away completely as soon as possible and that you are fully dried.

    It may either slightly clear away, or you may be left with what is visible permanently .....

      What you need to watch out for is any changes, such as the ulcer becoming permanent, or other symptoms appearing. The normal precautions during sexual intercourse apply such as the need to use condoms if you have different partners and suchlike, or other symptoms appearing elsewhere on the penis ....

      I am constantly surprised by what a condition of the genitals turns out to actually be once someone has gone through a thorough medical diagnosis process. So if you wanted to completely rule out anything specific you would need to get tested for them, or better still see a Urologist, or at least go to a walk-in sexual health center or department at a general hospital (GUM Clinic, in the UK).

      The other thing you can be guided by is the number of risky sexual practices you have engaged in, such as unprotected penetrative sex. Essentially no risk practices = nothing to be concerned about, some risk practices = potential for links to STI / STD - and so on ......
