Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

This conditions looks to me like so called hypospadia which is a congenital disorder of the urethra where the urinary opening is not at the usual location on the head of the penis. If there are no other symptoms such as pain, urine leakage and infection then no treatment is required. Otherwise, Surgery is usually recommended for hypospadias, with the goal to restore normal appearance and function to the penis. Other causes include ulcers due to STD or abscess but it would manfest with redness and pus secretion.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
