Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my partner and I tried anal sex without any protection. Today, when I was bathing, I saw my penis got some tiny non-itchy red bumps on it. I would like to know what are they? Is it a disease and are they risky? I have attached pictures for your reference.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through the photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Do you have any other symptoms likeitching, pain, or watery discharge from the lesions? After how many days of exposure did you notice these lesions? At this time, they look likeirritant spots. Regards.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

They are quite itchy and no pain or watery discharge. Yesterday I tried anal sex and today while taking bath I saw them and when I pulled my foreskin it down, the bumps appeared. Can you please let me know what are they?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The lesions appearing within 24 hours of exposure are most probably allergic rather than infectious or sexually transmitted diseases. I suggest you take tablet Allegra 120 mg (Fexofenadine) twice a day for one week and then you can consult again. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Avoid application of soap on the affected area. Wearloose cottonundergarments. Regards.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

When my penis is erected, the red spots can be seen easily. Can I show you more pictures when it is erected?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Yes, you can show more photographs. Meanwhile, I suggest you start the tablet. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her andwith their consent take the medicines.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I have attached more photos. Please check them.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I have seen the photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Presently, these all seem to be benign lesions as already mentioned. If there is any pain or burning sensation or watery discharge from these spots or from the urethra, kindly let me know. Then the diagnosis may be revised. Regards.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I would like to know whether the size of my penis is fine or not.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. The size of your penis is fine.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Is the size of my penis big enough for sex? Can I masturbate these days?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. A sexologist will be in a better position to determine if your penis size is big or not. Masturbation should be avoided for a few days.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Can I have sex with my partner in these days?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Sexual activities should be avoided for a few days.

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