Doctor,

Thanks for the reply...

I have added some pictures of my mouth. The photos go like this:

1.) My lower lip. The whiteness is gone today. The ridge is there, but it is clear.
2.) My upper lip. You can see the blister
3.) My tongue. There are 3 blisters on the left side and one on the right.
4.) My cheek. I know that these marks between the upper and lower teeth are common, but the one on the right side of my mouth appears to be getting larger. Maybe. It may be my imagination.

ALSO:

I have included pictures of my penis.

1.) The top of my glans. I noticed that shiny growth for the first time on the morning of 6-5-14. It appears to be getting bigger. It appears to be flat skin at this point. I don't think that there is any fluid build up.

2.) The underside of my penis. That pinking dot may be a new thing. I'm not 100% positive, but I think it is.


ALSO:

In reading about every disease on the internet, I believe that I felt anal burning and penile burning. I rarely felt them at the same time. This morning, I don't feel either, but my mind is also occupied writing you. I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not.

ALSO and lastly:

2 months ago, I was in the champagne room at a strip club. At one point there was skin on skin contact with genitalia. The was no penetration.


I haven't had any flareup outside of what's on the pictures. I don't think I have herpes. I haven't had any flu like symptoms.

Could I have warts? Would that cause my oral blisters?
Do I have herpes?
Do I have Lichen Planus? I have read that there can be some genital growth from that.

Both the growth on the penis and the oral flare up happened at roughly the same time.

Needless to say, I am anxiously awaiting your reply
and my penis.

Doctor,

Thanks.

One follow up question:

The blisters on the sides of my tongue and upper lip are still there. The cheeks and the lip ridge don't seem as pronounced. The lip ridge appears to be normal, and the cheeks, I think, are the same as everyone else's.

If you take the lip ridge and the cheeks out of the equation, would you still diagnose Lichen Planus?
