Can A Red Spot On The Penis Be Suggestive Of STD?
Brief Answer:
probably not an std; still get a swab culture done
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your query and picture and it does not look like to be an std. It can be due to local trauma during the act or might be a local bacterial infection. But as stds can be symptomless sometimes, it is best to get a wound swab tested for culture. Thus std can be ruled out.
Also in such patients, I advise local application of neosporin ointment.
Keep the genitalia clean.
And dont worry.
Hope this was useful.
Consult me with reports.
Regards.
