Brief Answer:
Further infromation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Ulcers on a penis can be caused by different reasons. I would like to know if your ulcer was painful (tender) in the beginning and if you had swollen lymphs around your genitals and/or in your groins.
This will help me understand and differentiate between the possible causes.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Chancroid is the most probable diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
From the pictures and from the description of the events and symptoms that you provided, I am inclined to assume that the lesion you have is construed.This is a painful ulcer with a non-regular border, and needs to be treated with Ceftriaxone IM single dose. Your sexual partner needs to be treated as well.
Since, this is a prescription drug and you will need a doctor's prescription to get it, I would recommend you to see a dermatologist for confirmation of the diagnosis.
You need to stay calm regarding your doubts about cancer. I see no signs or anything in your history relating to it.
Hope I have answered your query.
