Sounds like an STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

It sounds like an STD.

Have you had morning urine sent for culture, urethral swab or anything?

Do you have a photo of the skin changes?

Looking forward to hearing from you...

Hi again,

There are no pictures, kindly upload them here so that I can review. And if you haven't had a urethral swap investigation, that would be a good idea.

Brief Answer:
Looks like genital herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hi again XXXXXXX

Thank you for uploading the photos. It looks like a case of genital herpes.

I'd recommend a swab from one of the vesicles for analysis (PCR for herpes simplex virus) at your own doctor's, if possible. Treatment consists of the Acyclovir tablet for 5-10 days.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
