so I've had this lump on the side of the opening of my penis for over 6 months or probably longer before I noticed it. It has not changed in size or form, nor has there ever been any of these things anywhere else. there has also been a bit of discomfort around the area, but rarely. most notably an acute stinging feel, no itches. urine passes normally. last sexual partner(unprotected) was over 9 months prior to discovery of said growth. i however have not gone for any std checkups yet unfortunately due to personal issues, as much as I would want to immediately. pls help!
its hard to say. syphilis sores are usually painless. but i think they dont last as long as 6 months, usually up to 8 weeks before progressing to stage 2. i would suggest getting checked out as soon as you can.
