Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
IS there an STD that looks like a whitehead? It actually can have a head with puss ir some sort of white thick stuff. Also, it was on my boyfriends belly, thigh and groin. I started getting these breakouts on my outer parts of my genitals. It feels like a boil and is very tender.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to know about symptoms and tests to diagnose STD . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like painful urination , abdominal pain , discharge from the penis in men or testicular pain in men . There are tests available for diagnosis like blood test , urine test and fluid sample test . But in your case it doesn't seems to be symptoms of STD . So i would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe anti viral , anti inflammatory along with corticosteroid ointment . For now apply cold compresses and keep it clean and dry .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
