Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex one month back. But my penis shaft has some red spots. These spots suddenly appeared and went away, and my penis gland has bright red color areas. Why so?

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

If there was unprotected sex, you need to think of sexually transmitted infection. I suggest you do the following investigations.

1. TPHA (treponema pallidum hemagglutination).

2. HPV DNA PCR (human papillomavirus (HPV) polymerase chain reaction) test.

3. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) one and two IgG test.

4. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) test.

5. Urine complete analysis.

I suggest you use an antibacterial ointment for local application and take a tablet of Doxycycline (Tetracycline) twice a day for five days. If there is itching, you need to think of a fungal infection.

Make sure you wash your genitalia twice a day, morning and night, and use normal water. Do not use heavy pH soap.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
