See your doctor: It may not be feasible for an untrained person to differentiate these lesions. In some cases it may require a biopsy and examination of the tissue by a pathologist.

Exam: You need an examination by oral surgeon or ENT for oral and your regular MD for penile and STD check. You may need biopsy.
