Suggest Treatment For Red Spot On Penis Shaft

I am a 57 year old male in good health. I have a small red spot on the shaft of my penis. No pain. No itching. It is not sensitive to the touch. I first noticed it several days ago, after having unprotected intercourse with a new sexual partner. I did not ask if she had any STDs.

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the red spot on penis shaft after an unprotected sexual intercourse with a new partner is highly suggestive of Herpes simplex infection via Herpes virus.

* As the lesion is active during red spot period, you require consulting with expert infectious specialist and get prescription of Valacyclovir or Acyclovir to get it cured best possible way.

* It is strongly recommended to avoid any type of sex activity till complete recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
