Hi, I think I have primary syphilis. I have an ulcer on my penis.
I had small lesions on my glans (penis) which I thought was balanitis - I have been treating this with increased washing/drying and occassional application of hydrocortisone cream. Sometimes this worked and the glans would return to normal within a couple of days, but then the lesions would return. I'm still battling with this.
However, I also have a large single ulcer on my penis which looks like it could be syphilis. I have attached photos to show you this ulcer, and also the glans condition. I noticed the lesion about two weeks ago, but I don't know how long it could have been there for.
I'm 33, and I take tramadol and gabapentin for nerve pain in my feet. This medication has affected my sex drive, and me and my girlfriend have not had sex for about 9 months, so I don't know where I could have picked up an STD.
I'd be grateful for any help, thanks a lot.
