Accepted Answer

Concern: You are describing what may be the residual signs of herpes or another sexual transmitted disease.  He should wear condoms or refrain from intercourse until seen by a clinician and tested appropriately.  The question seems to be asked by the partner of the person with the lesion, you should be examined too.

Question 2

hello. i need help identifying a scab on the shaft of my penis. i had recently hung out with someone, but there was no actual sex involved.

Accepted Answer

Hung out?: If by hanging out you mean there was any contact with your penis you need to get checked for an STD. There are many things that can cause scabs on your penis- including syphilis and herpes. See you doctor or a local sexual health clinic for full testing and use condoms

Question 3

i have had unprotected oral sex, and have had 2 small red scab appear on the shaft of my penis, however i had one of these before oral sex. is it std?

Accepted Answer

Genital herpes?: Oral sex is safe sex -- not completely free of risk, but with low risk for all STDs and virtually zero for some. This could be herpes, especially if the "red scabs" start out as blisters and/or open sores before scabbing over. Whatever it is, since you had an episode before the oral sex exposure, almost certainly this has nothing to do with that event. See a doctor if/when the problem reappears.

Question 4

my boyfriend has what seems like a scab on the shaft of his penis but it's white and a few white littlespots. he also says that he feels a little cut.

Accepted Answer

Examination: There is too much there to give you any reassurance. I think he needs a doctor to diagnose this by examination.

Question 5

i have a blood blister or scab on the tip of my penis the shaft is dry and itchy what is that and how do i fix it no more info

Accepted Answer

Blister: The best way to find out is to have a viral culture of the blister and be evaluated by a doctor; however , blister can be from herpes infection, dry /scaly itch can be for fungal infection, last but not least, any genital lesion can be syphilis because syphilis is called the great imitator.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

See a doctor...: It sounds like it could be an std.  Get treated early!

You would need to : Be evaluated to ensure that you don't have an infectious cause for lesions.

Question 8

Abrasions Happen: Abrasions during sexual activity are common. Friction causes the breakdown of the skin or the lubrication is rough or the teeth cause minor damage to the skin of the penis during sexual play.  Fortunately the skin of the penis heals very well.
