I have some problem on my penis skin. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and need some details about the problem.

• Is there any history of unprotected sexual intercourse recently? Are the lesions itchy or painful?

• How long the lesions are present? Did you take any treatment?

• The lesions appear to be some fungal infection and not an STD (sexually transmitted disease). But, detailed evaluation is needed to make diagnosis. Please add your laboratory reports too.

• Keep the penis shaft dry and avoid wearing underwear for some days. Keep the affected part dry. Apply neutral creams to prevent the further spread.

• Visit a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment. Do not delay the treatment.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• You have history of unprotected sex with females and this is a risk factor for persistent non-remitting infection. Please abstain from sex for some time and start using condom during sex. This will protect you from further spread.

• Continue to apply the antifungal cream and visit a dermatologist for help. Ketoconazole tablets can be used. The tablets will help to treat the chronic fungal infection.

• Regarding STI (sexually transmitted infection) investigations to rule out any possibility of sexually transmitted illness, your blood and urine tests are normal. You can relax, but still go for STI investigations.

• Go for blood glucose tests to rule out diabetes which is a common cause of persistent infection.
