Suggest treatment for painless red spots on penis shaft
Answered by
Looks like minor skin infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Though many skin diseases can present like this.Most of them turn out to be local infection in this region.And treatment for such should be undertaken before considering other possibilities.
Rigorous training with lots of sweating can predispose such skin infections, particularly in such regions of body.
So I would suggest you to give try to a broad spectrum antibiotic cream with some antifungal and minimal steroid in it.
This creams should take care of this.
If at all this persist after 10 days use of the cream then it will be ideal to see a dermatologist.
Also you can add photograph of lesion here so that I am in better position to answer it.
Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
Still I will stick to my opinion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for follow up.
Even with those details I feel its minor skin infection.
Subclinical , opportunistic infections do present like dry, shiny areas in irregular patch formation, which on drying up break open.This is due to loss of upper layer of skin.
It doesn't look like any STD or chronic worrisome skin disease.
Please give try to cream I have suggested and if symptoms still persist see a dermatologist.
Its very likely that the creams will help you.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.

Detailed Answer:

So do see doctor, it will relax your mind.

MD Hi. I am 38 years old. I made 10 IVF failed attempts. Last one was 75 days ago and I have a very light period 10 days after the pregnancy test then I dont have period. I test estradiol and progestrone after 42 days of the last period and estradiol was 89 while progestrone was 0.1. My Doctor presceibed me progyluton after 55 days of the last period. My question : does this mean that i am in premature monopose? and is progyluton useful in my case and does it have a side effects? Thanks a lot
MD I have a question about heart rates and health in general. When I work out my heart rate seems all over the place. Today it went down to 55 and then jumped to 145 and then back down to 55 depending on how I was breathing. Is this dangerous? I feel completely fine. I thought that there might be something wrong with the machine I was using, but I tried the same thing on another machine and had similar results. One time, my heart rate went as high as 232. Also, when I sleep, my heart rate sky rockets after feeling really cold and waking up. I was told I m having panic attacks without anybody actually checking me out or running any tests. I used to be on medication for depression, but I stopped taking it because it seemed like the medication made these episodes worse. It s as if my body is thinking backwards in these situations. I m learning to just live with it, but I can t help but wonder why it happens to begin with. It doesn t seem normal. Also, my cholesterol was a little high at a health screening, so I ve cut back on dairy, and I don t eat a lot of junk food to begin with. I ve been to the doctors several times, but they just tell me my heart is healthy and sounds good. I wish people could see what s going on while I m sleeping or while I m exercising because those are the times I m really having issues. Any insight, suggestions, or advice would be appreciated.
