Q. Why is there a circular rash on my penis?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If there was unprotected sex, you need to think of a sexually transmitted infection. I suggest the following test to be taken,

• Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination (TPHA), HPV DNA test.

• Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) one and two IgG.

• Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) one and two IgM, serum.

• Chlamdia Trachomatis IgG (Immunoglobulin G).

• HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) one and two antibodies, and screening test.

• HbsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen).

If not, it can be a superficial bacterial infection. Then you can use ointment T Bact (Mupirocin) for local application and tablet Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for five days. If there is itching, then it can be a fungal infection. You can use ointment Candid B (Clotrimazole and Beclometasone) for local application and itching. Ensure you wash your genital twice a day, morning and night, use regular water (no cold or hot water). Do not use heavy pH soap. I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

We need to consider STI only if there has been unprotected sex.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
