According to the description you provide (friction burns, “ring”, swelling around the head and shaft of the penis), it seems that you have some kind of scar on your penis. Scar tissue can be a cosmetic/esthetic problem or it can also cause functional problems (disturbed erection, urination etc.). You can visit an urologist for discussing further therapeutic procedures.
