Can candida infection cause bump in penis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had previously been on syphilis treatment and it healed but yet I had unprotected sex with a lady and she has a vaginal yeast infection and I am starting to see a straight like a bump on the tip of my penis and am also having difficulty swallowing. Then I found white thick stuff at the back of my tongue. Is it candida?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your complaints. It looks like you been having some fungal infection in the tongue which comes only when your immune system is a bit compromised. It also seems that you had been on treatment for syphilis. I want you to know that in syphilis the treatment depends on what stage you have at present.

I saw that picture that the lesion on your penis looks like it is asymptomatic so you could be in primary syphilis (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I need to see your complete blood count analysis, your basic blood test analysis so with that I will be able to answer your question better in regards to the treatment of your tongue related lesion.

I want you to take Fluconazole 200 milligrams one tablet followed by 150 milligrams once a day for 10 days. I want you to get me the latest blood test reports and any other blood test reports in regards to your health conditions.
