irritations on penis
Dr.
Last time i had sexual intercourse (unprotected) i got what looks like oval shaped irritations on my penis which cause a little pain if i touch it, like an abrasion. i had this before due to low natural lubrification from my girlfriend, but it healed in some days, but now i'm a little worried that it could be an STD.
i've added a photo.
hope to hear from you soon.
thank you

Hello,
It looks like molluscum only. Molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign, self limiting viral infection of the skin. It presents as multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug. My advice would be to consult a dermatologist. The other possibility that needs to be evaluated is of infected hair follicles.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted.

pictures i've posted are from yesterday, today after bath the irritations look very much like little rashes as you can see in the picture below which i took right after bath (those are little bigger than a regular ballpoint pen tip) and the ones that have more skin turned white, which happens when dead skin on rashes are exposed to water like in bath.
Tell me what do you think

if it is molluscum contagiosum it is normal that it healed in some days and then come back again after months? because it's not the first time it happens and always around the same area.

Hello,
Unfortunately the picture is not very clear but it can be a rash due to friction rub due to less lubrication or molluscum contagiosum. In adults, molluscum infections are often sexually transmitted and can transmit from one site to other skin sites by aoutoinocultaion. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage.
My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist.
