Hi
If it is cured with steroid it is unlikely to be cancer. Addition of Clotrimazole along with steroid will be helpful.
Do send me clinical photograph for further assessment.

Hi
Thanks for providing clinical picture. It is unlikely to be cancer based on your young age and characteristic of lesion.
It is likely to be scab ( dried up secretion , post inflammation secondary to smegma).
Kindly provide me additional information
1. Since how long has the lesion been present
2. Is it increasing in size??
3. Did it respond to any local ointment?
4. Any excessive exposure to sun?
5. Does it itch or is there any discharge?
If possible please try to attach a clear high resolution image
Awaiting your response
Take Care
