Should I Be Concerned About Itchiness On Penis?
A spot the base of my penis has been itching for the past 4 months . It has never done that in the past . I had sex with a condom with a woman 1 time. i found out later she used to be a prostitute . I did wash it a hour later with hydrogen prioxide. There are no bumps no sores smells or any other problems other than being itchy and not a really bad itch just present now and not before her. I have been getting colds more that usual but it is the season for that . I know herpes is suppose to only last a few weeks this has been months i get cold sore on a spot on my lip a couple times a year. Is this something to be worried about? i just started using coconut butter 2 days ago it and it takes the itch away for a little while

Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your description this could be due to infection or nutritonal deficiency like B complex or folic acid deficiency
I would like further information to guide you better
your age and relevant medical history
If possible upload a photograph?
I would advise him to follow strict aseptic precautions
He should wash and clean the site with an antiseptic solutions or antibiotics ointment
You should ask your doctor for few investigations to confirm the diagnosis like Urine culture and sensitivity test
Apart from this blood sugar fasting and post prandial and Blood for CBC and liver function test or HIV test are also advisable.
Hope this answers your question
