I'm freaking out

I've had this rash like thing on the shaft of my penis for almost a week now. At first I thought it was just from irritation, but shouldn't it have healed by now? I noticed last night that I have what looks like penile papules around the edge of the head of my penis. Also, I noticed these small cut like things on the underside of my penis The rash is looking better today, but it feels a little scabby.


I'm freaking out; I've just started a new relationship and I'm worried I passed something on to her. I tried to go to LifeChoices, but they were closed for the holidays. I tried to go to an urgent care facility, but couldn't pay up front so they told me about another free clinic that is also closed for the holidays.

It very well could be a yeast infection ..given your girlfriends history. To be sure, you may want to try some over the counter yeast medicine, abstain from sex until you can get into the clinic for a check. If it is yeast it should improve rapidly. An exam and follow up in clinic is important. Take care.ner
