Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection
Question: Is this a male yeast infection or a std?
Brief Answer:
For how long have you had this? Any itches?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed the attached image. I have taken note of this spot but need more information to be able to make the difference.
1. Do you have any itches associated with this?
2. For how long has this been going on?
3. Do you have episodes of recent unprotected sexual encounters?
This will help me make the call whether this is more in favor of an STD or a yeast infection.
I hope to hear back from you at your earliest convenience.

Brief Answer:
This is not typical of fungal infection. Get it examined!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
I have reviewed this lesion alongside all the details further provided and it is not typical of a fungal infection.
As a solitary lesion, it is not typical of an STD either. I'd suggest that you please get this further evaluated by your primary care physician. It might be interesting to run a full battery of STD just to make sure there is nothing we are missing out on. However, this in itself is not a major threat to health and we do not need to panic.
Please let me know what the tests results report back.
Kind Regards
