ulcer on the tip of penis (not on foreskin)
Hello sir , I am 22 yrs old & I had swelling on the foreskin of my penis for which my doctor prescribed cetrizine , doxycycline hyclate tablets & Lobate gm ointment (i had no idea that it contains steroid) .After 5 to 6 days that swelling or inflammation was gone . BUT now i guess there is ulcer or sore on the tip of my penis(not the foreskin) .Now My doctor has prescribed CIFRAN 500 & Doxycycline .Is it balantis or something related to syphilis ?? what should i do now ? I have applied a little Lobate ointment thinking it will stop the pain,should i stop using that. It looks something like this pic http://intimatehealthhelp.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/syphilis-sore.jpeg . Please help me... What is the proper treatment ?
Thnx . i jst wanted to ensure that cifran (i have heard alot of bad stuff about ciprofloxacin) is safe and is enough for its medication , because that sore is GROWING fast... I know it is jst been 2 days since i have started taking Cifran but I 'm scared .

Hi, it would be best to ask your doctor about this as he is already treating you and if you have a syphilis concern from sexual exposure then have it swabbed for testing or take the syphilis test 6 weeks post exposure.
