Good for you for embarking on this journey - overcoming your fears and taking care of yourself.
I'm glad you're considering going to a doctor. I labored for 7 years under the delusion that I had contracted HIV and any number of other STDs as punishment for a blow job I gave an ex-boyfriend. I finally just went and got tested - all negative, good for my sanity.
About talking to a prospective sex partner about sexual health in general and about this matter in particular, I agree that you don't seem like a "player" and will probably have earned some degree of trust from any woman who you get to this point of intimacy with. I say, be honest. You might not even have to mention it - the picture you linked to looks pretty harmless, and she may not even notice, depending on how much experience she has with penises (penii?) If she does notice, or if you want to get it out of the way up front, just say something like "It's a totally normal skin condition that just looks a little strange but is not an infection or anything transmittable." If you want to, say that you were a little concerned about it and got it checked out, and the doctor assured you it's normal and fine. If you wear a condom, no problem anyhow. I can't imagine this would be a deal-breaker with any woman with sense, and who trusts you.
