No worries if you are referring to this skin lesion. These things are non-cancerous and non-infectious. Just don't scratch them.

Ah alrighty then, thanks doc. I don't think naman na kumakalat siya eh.One thing I noticed about the article, I dunno which part are they referring to, are they referring to the shaft part or the head part? Cuz I don't see something similar to mine on the picture presented on the webpage you've shown me.

oh sorry that site didnt have any shaft lesions..

as long as they're little white bumps that isn't painful or red then its ok.

[polofalltrades]

Hmm, I consulted my dermatologist and he gave me some medication. Imiquimod is the generic name of the cream that I should apply on the whitish bumps

Hi, im new here,

 

can someone give me an advise?

 

I had an encounter with someone whom I know that might have an STD or AIDS. and maybe because of lack of knowledge since it was my first time doing SEB, we do it live. after a few months I noticed that I started to have rashes on my arms, it is redish but don't really itch. I dont know if I'm just "Praning" but do you think this is could be STD?

 

I am really afraid and it keep bugginh me for months now..Please give me an advise.

 

Thanks!

HIV symptoms are very nonspecific. They range from fever, mouth ulcers, generalized skin rashes, soar throat, headahce, diarrhea, etc. It is recommended that you undergo HIV testing. Count at least three months from the time you had sex with the person you think has HIV before you undergo the test.

If the urinalysis LAB test is normal does that mean you are FREE of STD?

maybe to those MTCers na may alam na CLINICS for STD so as for those who need to have a check-up can go to the professionals.

 

please indicate na lang siguro the address.

 

I suggest Medical City in Ortigas Pasig, marami magaling na Urologist.

@mantray

No. HIV cannot be diagnosed by urinalysis. It can only be diagnosed by blood testing.

[rcko21]

HIV is a STD

mas maganda kung makita ng dermatologist para sa tamang pag-gamot ng rashes mo.

saan saan ba nakukuha doc ang gonorrhea? sa pagsex lang ba?

[JUICYLICIOUS]

ang gonorrhea ba ay sa sex lang nakukuha?

[rcko21]

Yup. Sa penis and vagina lang makukuha yan. Oral sex wont get you infected with gonnorrhea. It will just gross you out.

 

@patotoy_21

We can't advice you on what medicine/ointment/wash to use. You better have yourself checked by a infectious medicine specialist because that can be more than just a rash. It can be a STD and has to be treated specifically depending on the organism. Always bear in mind that it doesn't matter if the penis lesion is itchy or not. STDs have different ways of manifesting itself.

[JUICYLICIOUS]

ano ba ang efective na gamot sa gonorrhea?

[rcko21]

IM ceftriaxone. Has to be administered by a doctor

[pututuy2010]

Had a discharge nung May 2010 so i decided to have it checked. got an Culture and Sensetivity test from an hospital and diagnose it as "staphylococous epydimidis". It also has the right medicine sensitive for it, one includes clyndamicin. Took it for 2 weeks but not consecutive because the medicine was expensive. Did one week straight, stopped for 2 weeks then took it again for a week straight (the 2nd was w/out no doctors advice, its just for me to b sure). Now i dont have any discharge but how do i know if im already safe?, ive only taken the urinalysis C&S but found nothing. How do you say that your perfectly clear.? even if i go to the doctor they would say im already ok.

i have also read this article

 

Treatment

As S. epidermidis is part of the human normal flora, it has developed resistance to many common antibiotics such as methicillin, novobiocin, clindamycin, and benzyl penicillin. As a result, vancomycin or rifampin is used to treat an infection. (#4 WWW)

 

does this mean i have to take vancomycin or rifampin?

[rcko21]

You can be considered disease free if you don't have any more urinary symptoms such as discharge or pain on urination, a clean urinalysis, and a clean urine gram stain or urine culture and sensitivity. You should, however, have a HIV test done if you had a prior sexual encounter before you had the discharge to rule out if you have a HIV infection.

 

Dont worry about the resistant strains if your diagnostics test and clinical picture shows your fine.
