Brief Answer:
Divert your mind from the possibility of any STDs

Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Welcome back and thanks for your further queries.

As I guided you before that your kind of incidence never could result in any type of Sexually transmitted infections. So you are free from all the STDs.

Now for touch in mouth to genital area: it is practically not possible in your case to get any infection. It is almost more than one year since the incidence occurred and there hadn't been any signs or symptoms of STDs. Your mouth ulcers are just part of normal type of thing which can occur in anyone of us.

So even if you kiss your nephew then there would not be any problem in the same. Divert your mind from the possibility of any STDs and live a healthy stress free life.

My best wishes for your healthy life.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Sanjay Kumar Kanodia (35 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Eruption is just a proliferation of the blocked gland. No STD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxx
Welcome back and thanks for posting your further queries.

I have diligently analyzed the pictures. Let me reassure you again that there is no Sexually transmitted disease over the eye region.

The small eruption is just a proliferation of the blocked gland at the eyelash. It could happen in anyone just due collection of secretion from the glands. It would be totally alright by itself and thee is no need of any active treatment in the same. There is no correlation of mouth and eye eruption.

My best wishes for your healthy life.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Sanjay Kumar Kanodia (8 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Do not worry it would be alright.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As I explained you in previous mail that this is a simple eruption related to blockage of the glands, so there is nothing to be worried about it.

It is not at all transmitted by saliva and is not a Sexually transmitted disease.

It would take few days to get better by itself. Do not try to touch or pinch or pop the area as could get infected.
Do not worry it would be alright.

My best wishes for your healthy life.

Brief Answer:
Oral swab is not very helpful in STD detection.

Hello,

Welcome back and thanks for posting your further follow up.

I do not recommend oral swab test for the detection of any Sexually transmitted infection. It is not a very helpful test in the detection of the same. I reassure you fully that there is no need to go for any further testing.
