HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the formation of wound or some lesion then it needs to be taken care for infection, and for that better to apply "Povidone Iodine" cream and avoid coitus till it healed, it may be fungal infection if not healed with suggested medicine then anti-fungal can be used like Miconazole cream hope this information helps.
