Question: I have what feels like chafing under the lip of the head of my penis it is really raw, but im not sure how or why i have it! I havent felt it until today when i started walking. Im going to get a herpes std test tomorrow to ease my mind because i also have a bump that looks like a bumble almost on my right testicle by my inner thigh that doesnt give me any pain or itching though

Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
it is not clear about the duration of these lesions, symptoms,Intercourse history if any, the other lesion in the inner thigh , treatment taken so far ,any disease diagnosed and treated,any investigation done etc
It appears by photos though not clear , is due to Fungal infection.
Please take following precautions.Use loose cotton clothes.Keep area dry.clean the area twice daily with warm water.Apply antifungals like clotirimazole lotions.oral antifungals like flucanazole 150 mg weekly once can be taken.Treat your partner also if any to prevent recurrence.
I do not think it is due to herpes.
