recent biopsy and electrocautery in the pubic area near the penis

by Speedzbmw, Jan 11, 2009 09:55AM
hi there, recently i had a mole growth on the side of the penis, the doctor burnt it off with electrocautery and also did a biopsy on the other mole, and was given 2 stiches,
after 3 days when the wound dried up, i went to visit hooker, i had unprotected oral sex but protected intercourse, now i am worried if her vaginal fluids touches my burnt skin and stiched skin, would i be suspitble to HIV and other disease?

You would not be at risk for HIV...however, with a freshly healing wound of that nature...you could have put yourself at risk for a bacterial infection.

Basically it would be wise to keep the area clean until it is completely healed.

Actually, no...I was speaking in terms of a basic incisional infection.

You had a risk of contracting STDs, (NOT HIV) from oral sex. Can you sue the doctor for a wrongful diagnoses. Dude a biopsy is used to diagnose. You found out through the biopsy that you had that your mole was benign keratosis. What more could you ask for?  You can sue him and you'll loose not only the suit but you'll have to pay his attorney fees.

i went for nitrogen , electro cautery and aldara cream treatment X 2, the keratosis went away, but the come back with more smaller new bumps. do i need a 2nd biopsy? maybe its really warts

You will not win a malpractice suit of that nature.  There has to be significant and permanent injury/disability in order to win and get a settlement.

Just be glad it was good news.  The doctor had YOUR best interest at heart and was treating it appropriately to minimize harm to you if indeed the diagnosis was worse.
