Brief Answer: There are variety of conditions that present this Detailed Answer: Hello, Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic! There are variety of conditions that present this way. Few of which include infection which may be fungal, viral or bacterial. With fungal being suspected based on your description. However, it can be physiological thing also like pearly penile papules, or just because of soap which do not have a serious cause and not require treatment. Anyhow, if you would have exposed to risky sexual behavior, this is to be clearly distinguished from sexually transmitted like genital warts(caused by human papilloma viruses), syphilis and many more. So, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out. Quadridrum, contains a steroid which can improve this kind of presentations symptomatically but may mask the actual cause which leads to improper diagnosis.

I have not had sex with anyone. So I dont think it is Sexually Transmitted Disease. Would you be able to give me any cream to get rid off it? I just want to try for few days and if it wont work then I will go for diagnosis. Where should I go and which specialist?

Brief Answer: So, the possibility of it being STD zero. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for follow up. Good to hear that you have not had sex with anyone. So, the possibility of it being STD zero. So, the other things like fungal infection and some physiological things which I mentioned in my previous answer should be looked for. This happens after physical exam. You need to consult a dermatologist. Today’s research indicates that a move toward individualizing the dosing of prescription agents is warranted and it can happen only after physical consultation .Your doctor will know about these drugs. Wish you good health.
