What should a patient do if the soreness and a white patch on the genital persists even after taking the tablet Varimax?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have soreness and a white patch on my genitals. I went to a nearby clinic, and the doctor told me that the white patch was due to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). I took the tablet Varimax, but I still see the white patch. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. I checked the attached images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It could be due to a sexually transmitted infection if you had unprotected intercourse. I suggest you apply the T-bact (Mupirocin) ointment and undergo the following tests:

Treponema pallidum hemagglutination (TPHA) test.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV1 and 2) immunoglobulin (Ig) test.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV1 and 2) immunoglobulin M (IgM) test.
Chlamydia trachomatis immunogluboulin G (IgG) test.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening test.
