Greetings of the
Dear Mr XXXXX
Thank you for providing clinical photograph. From the pictures it appears to be infected ulcer of undersurface of prepuce. It appears to be Sexually transmitted disease. Many of disease like soft chancre may not respond to Ciprofloxacin alone.
I would suggest you following which will definitely help
1. Hot Seitz Bath: To a tub of lukewarm water add a handful of common table salt . Sit in it immersing ur bottom. Clean the are thoroughly
2. After bath apply Framycetin Ointment thrice a day
3. TABLET Doxycyline (Novadox ) 100 mg capsule , 1 capsule twice a day for 2 to 3 weeks will help in resolution.
If the lesion does not improve even after a week, I would suggest you to consult Surgeon/Dermatologist for further assessment.
Be safe and practice safe sexual practice.
Take care
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Framycetin Ointment and Doxycyline (Novadox ) 100 mg.. r they strong..good medicen?
It's normal cooking salt
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Doxycyline is a broad spectrum antibiotic and is useful in management of STD and is one of the recommended drug. It's not a strong medicine.
Framycetin is a topical antibiotic
It's not salt tablet. But the normal cooking salt crystal which will act as antiseptic. Add a handful of it In tub of lukewarm water. Sit in it as you Normally sit in tub. If you don't have a tub , you can use a flat plastic tub.
Stop the previous medicine.
In case the lesion don't improve after a week , consult physician.

Mr XXXXX
It is not serious and will not require any surgery.
Salt can be procured from super market(normal cooking salt) or alternatively you can add a cup full of dettol in the lukewarm water
Its bacterial infection and not caused by fungus. The white liquid is likely to be purulent material coming out. Proper cleaning in the lukewarm tub and local application of ointment will take care of it.
Avoid sexual contact till cured.
Take care

the medicenes u pescribed ..shd i start from today.. or XXXXXXX
and take before food or afer
Preferably start medicine from today
Detailed Answer:
Dear Bro
No issues. feel free to ask any query anytime.
Possibly start the medicine from today. Take it one hour after food. As there is white discharge that means its already infected. The antibiotic prescribed will take care of it.
Rest be assured
