I'm really worried about this painful thing that hasn't gone away in a week. Is there any chance it could be cancer? What should I do?

I understand your concern, and Im here to help. Painful lumps lasting over a week are usually not cancer, but they could be an infection, cyst, or another condition needing attention. Please see a doctor promptly for an examination and proper treatment.

Question

I'm dealing with this jock itch and balanitis on my penis glans and I'm getting really worried. A few years back, I had ringworm and got treated by a doctor, which seemed to help, but then my scrotum skin ended up drying out and peeling completely. At the time, I thought it was just a part of the ringworm healing process. Now I'm freaking out, wondering if that's connected to what's happening now. I've been stuck with this jock itch ever since having the ringworm. Is this situation indicating some kind of penile cancer?
