Brief Answer: Painful lesions penile area, proper cleaning Detailed Answer: Hi again Since the lesions have developed scabs now ,so it might be difficult to come to a final diagnosis as to whether the lesions were associated with any std or were they simply fungal in nature. You should avoid using any of the chemicals that you are using at present. It might lead to further irritation over the lesions. Simply clean the area with lukewarm water and apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin over the lesions twice a day. Do not apply any other cream or oil over it. In case you tend to develop any such lesions in future, you should immediately see either a local doctor or a dermatologist on this forum with the pictures. In case of early lesions ,it is easy to find a cause and treat accordingly . Since you have developed the lesions for the second time now, so it is important to find the cause of the same. Hope it helps Please ask if you need any further clarifications Dr Geetika Paul
