Brief Answer:
Upload an image for review!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Kindly upload an image of your penis for review. This way, I can provide a personalized and helpful response to you. Without reviewing an image, am afraid the response might be very generic and maybe not exactly applicable to you. For this reason, I will like you to upload an image as directed below.

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.

Brief Answer:
This looks okay to me!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the attached image and the results. The penis looks fine and the only concern might be that feeling which is hard to evaluate here. I'm not sure there is something too worrisome at this time. I will not advise any specific doctor’s visit at this time but please remember to bring it up to your doctor.

Also, please note that there is no active sign of herpes 1 here at this time.

Be relaxed and calm about this. Let’s monitor more and see if something else comes up.

Kind regards
