Hi, I have provided some attachments. Please review them.
I have had it for years, less than 10. Some days, my underwear seems to rub against it and it begins to hurt.

Brief Answer:
Regarding skin lesion on genitals

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have viewed the image.
It seems a fleshy lesion on the base of shaft rather than the scrotum.
It could be a wart.
How long since you have it? Are there any associated symptoms like itching? Pain?
I request you to kindly upload a few more good quality, clear images of the affected area so that I am able have another look and guide you better.

Do send the images,
