Small ring(s) under the (penile) skin

Hi, I am 34/ Male, not circumcised, exercise regularly, & maintain good hygiene. In the past 5 years, I've had unprotected intercourse only with my ex-, none in the past 3 years since we separated. She was a disloyal woman, & had unprotected sex with other multiple partners while we're together.

I first noticed the infections / problem, after about 6 months or so (when we met & started having intercourse). First symptom were warts near the crotch area, slightly up. This was solved later.

Second infection was/is the ring like formation, slightly protruding, under the penile skin (that is when the skin is pulled back entirely, this ring is near the base). I thought this might be normal, or maybe because of temporary infection, and will clear up later.

But it has not. This ring is slightly darker than rest of the genital skin color, and it is much clear, & formed now. Today, I found that a second ring has also started to appear. It looks like in the initial stages, small, not clearly formed, & not dark.

I am really starting to freak out. I haven't engaged in sex or oral in a long time. Shouldn't such infections be automatically resolved by body's immune system?

Can someone please advice on what these rings might be, and how to clear these?

Thank you.

Hi rings like your describing are not any std symptom but maybe some change to your body that your just noticing now. std symptoms are warts, raised painless bumps (syphilis) that go away after a few weeks and white puss penis discharge and burning while urinating. if your concerned have a derm check you about this.
