Question: I am a 57 year old South East Asian male. I am not diabetic. I am currently taking, synthroid, and hypertension medicine. About 18 months ago I developed a lesion (more like a soar spot) in my foreskin (I am uncircumsized). It grew to a maximum size of 5mm round, was flat, no raised edges, and slightly pink in color. There was no itching or no liquid coming out.

I have had severe jock itch/ring worm infections in the past, even on my nails. These have been cured with topical therapy.



My dermatologist ordered tests for fungus, yeast, syphilis, herpes, chancroid, etc. All came out negative. He did not think it was cancer, wart or a viral/bacterial infection.



He put me on a Gentamicin (.10%) Betamethasone (.05%) Clotrimazole (1%) ointment. The spot reduced in size but never completely went away. However, after intercourse (with condoms even with extra lubricant added) the spot reopens. If I put the ointment again it returns to a smaller size, but it does not completely go away.

I consulted another dermatologist and he could not find anything wrong. He suggested that I stop using the cream as it could thin the skin.



After it reopens it heals in a day or two. It is more a nuisance and rarely it is painful after intercourse. On a couple of occasions I noticed slight amount of blood after it got reopened.

As it is healing partially with the anti-fungal cream, should I try a stronger cream to completely get rid of it? Is there such a cream?



Are there any laser type treatments I can get to remove it permanently. Is this in the area of urologist?

Any other suggestions or possibilities?

Thank you.
