Lesion over shaft: various possibilities and suggestions.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the eruption on the penile area.

As the eruption started in last couple of days only so there could be three best possibilities in it:

- Lichenoid eruption : it is commonly found at this site. It is not at all anything serious and is a simple phenomenon of wear and tear of skin which actually becomes slightly raised due to touching or scratching. These begin as very small bumps and then can become flatly enlarged. You can notice multiple other pin point to pin head size papules near by the lesion.

- The other possibility is of Warts which manifest as verrucous (like multiple accuminate or thorn like) structure but begins a flat raised structures.

- Simple fungal infection: it manifests as ring like structure but again the initial picture is multiple small raised eruptions.

After analyzing the picture with best diligence and correlating with the history I suggest you to wait and watch the area for few days to week.It is too early to pin point a diagnosis for the same and accordingly suggest you some remedies.

I request you to give a follow up after one week from now. I suggest you to not to touch or pinch or pop the area as it could alter the exact morphology of the area. Avoid intercourse during this observation period.

Brief Answer:
It is not related to syphilis or any major STD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome back and thanks for posting your further follow up.

It is definitely not syphilis or any other major Sexually transmitted disease.

In syphilis or any other major Sexually transmitted infection there is red nodule to appear first which soon becomes an ulcer. There is no such feature in the picture. So rest assured for the same.

As I guided you that it is just for few days so bit difficult to differentiate between the three of the conditions enumerated in the previous mail.

I suggest you to wait and watch for few days before the application of any cream. As this could alter the actual morphology of the same. I would like to review it after three days. Kindly send few good resolution pictures after few days.

My best wishes for your healthy life.

Brief Answer:
Rules out wart. Possibility of lichenoid eruption is higher.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome back and thanks for your further follow up.

I have analyzed the pictures with best diligence. Presently in the pictures we can notice that the area has got bit flattened and less prominent than before. This rules out the possibility of warts or any other Sexually transmitted disease in the same.

Now the only possibility remains of either of lichenoid eruption or mild fungal infection.

In my opinion it appears to be alien kid eruption due to simple wear and tear with friction.

I suggest you to relax with ease and wait for next few days. It should get less prominent in next 4 to 5 days.

Just review me on next Wednesday.

With best regards,
