Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have red bumps on my penis and have already went to the doctor to have it checked out and they were not sure what it was. They think it is herpes but they are not painful and are not discharging but are itchy at times. They prescribed me acyclovir and I have been taking it for three days now but it is not helping. Is there another possibility for my condition? I have also been itchy all over my body as well but there are not marks
Hi It is probably herpes and acyclovir is ok for your management.If i am your treating physician i will add a steroidal anti-inflammatory like dexamethasone or prednisolone given the persistent itches.Discuss it with your physician Wish you a speedy recovery
