    Be careful with all the fear mongering that goes on around here. Remember the skin around your genitals is still skin and if you saw this anywhere else on your body you would not be alarmed. Go see a medical professional and get tested. There is no reason to be alarmed until a medical professional runs lab tests and gives you the result. Don't create problems you don't have yet.
