Brief Answer:
Possibility of an STD

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

I would like to keep a possibility of genital herpes first and would also like to rule out another possibility of syphilis. You may take a DNA PCR for HSV from the lesion for confirmation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
