circular tan mark on penis

Hey im a teen. I dont know what it is exactly but i have a tan circular mark on the shaft of my penis. It might be raised a little. Its not bumpy or anything. Those are the only symptoms. Ive had it for about 5 months and it hasnt really chainged at all. Im not sure if its an std. I havent had intercourse or anything. About a month after i got this on my penis i got ringworm on my leg. Maybe the circle on my penis is ringworm but they dont look anything alike. I need answers asap. THANKS

Well ,I'm a nurse,and I have seen ringworm rashes in the past but that was in urgent care at a Hospital in person ,I'm  not a medical doctor , you should have a MD-preferably a dermatologist  look at it so they can give you a prescription ASAP. Good Luck,I hope your not unconformable!

OK ,well then not to worry about any STD's ! I would have a doctor check it out ,I know u posted a photo of the effected area ,difficult to really see the patch or rash,I bet its the ringworm rash and your practitioner will treat you for that. Let us know. Good luck!

Before I finished reading your post I was gonna suggest ringworm . I would have a doctor look at it ,If your 15 or older your doctor has to keep it private so you will have that privacy ,he will probably give you a prescription ,so you don't have to worry about it if it is anything sexually transmitted -I know you said you have never had intercourse,but I wasn't about oral sex ,you can catch oral STD but if not ,anything like ring worm ,your doctor can give you a prescription ! Good luck!
