I answered, but don't believe it went through - so here again I answer... I have simulated rough sex through masterbration and use of penile pump. I do not have diabetes. I have heart failure, defribulator IDC implant and can't have MRI's. I have recently have swelling in right knee - to the inside of the cap. ER Doctor diagnosed GOUTY ARTHRITIS, subsequent OSTEO surgeon took - X-rays show narrowing because of my osteo arthritis and possible minces tear because of the swelling. I have 24/7 pain from this and hesitate to operate because without the MRI, it would be exploratory and may be arthritis related. I had a rotar cuff injury that arthritis set it and have not operated for same reason. I have low immune - get infection and pnemenonia easily- OSTEO doctor gave me XXXXXXX shot in the knee steroids and a follow up shot with some gel in it no relief. I had pnemunomia for 4.5 months or mare this last winter/spring - could hardly shake it. Is this sexually transmitted disease? Could this be related to the low immune system and other problems I have?
Brief Answer:
Traumatic ulcer due to rough handling
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
You seem to have developed a traumatic ulcer due to some minor injury during rough handling of the genitals. This does not seem to be related to any std,so don't worry about it.
Maintain a good local hygiene by cleaning the affected area with lukewarm water twice a day followed by application of a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin cream over the ulcer twice a day.
The lesion should heal in three to five days with this treatment .
If however,it tend to persist or increase in size, then you might have to see a local dermatologist for oral antibiotic prescription .
