Hello doctor,
I am 29 years old. A spot appeared on the penis after two weeks of unprotected sex. It was not extensive, with no painful urination, irritation, and no discharge. But I have slight abdominal pain with some discomfort.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
I guess you are speaking about that reddish spot over the base of the glans penis, not the tiny spot within that reddish zone. That tiny spot is not a significant finding.
Regarding that reddish zone, you did not mention symptoms regarding that spot, so I assume there is no significant pain, itching, or tenderness over the spot. If not then it is probably not significant.
There are two possibilities, one is trauma during the sleep leading to erythematous zone and the second is an early fungal infection. So as of now, it is too early to conclude definitely based on morphology alone.
Now in my opinion, it is better to wait and watch for its resolution or development of specific lesions, or alternatively may get it swabbed for an etiology. If you develop any itching or scaling over it then you should apply an antifungal ointment like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole. As of now, you may apply some soothing lotion like Vaseline or other if you have at home.
Watch for other symptoms like development of pain or fluid-filled vesicles over the lesion (for herpes).
I hope this helps.
