I visited a dermatovenereologist the day before yesterday, he said it's just a septic spot on the glans that will go away in few days. It doesn't look like HSV or HPV, he said it's no use testing for HSV because most of the people have it. I said it's maybe a syphilistic chancre, he told me it is not a chancre because it's not painless, doesn't look like chancre and won't become a painless ulcer, he told me I don't need to get tested for HSV and syphilis and just need to keep the area clean.

Four days later, the pimple disappeared. How is it possible to get a septic spot on the glans? I thought we only get them on the face. Can I trust the doctor? I am a bit paranoid about having HSV or syphilis.

Your dermatovenereologist is right about your diagnosis, you can trust him because it's his field. Nobody is as skilled as a venereologist when it comes to infectious diseases. STD clinics are useless because they are not specialist in infectious diseases.

Don't worry about HSV because most of us have HSV and good immune can control it and don't worry about syphilis because a chancre is very noticeable. Septic spots happens all over the body. Just wash your genital area with warm water without using soap.

Anyone has ever had a red pimple on their penis?

I got a red pimple after having sex, protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex.

Had that also. After a few days it developed to a yeast infection on my dick.

That's very common. Also from oral.

I had a red pimple on my balls last year, not on dick. It was not because of sex though. Though that pimple caused lot of itching and embarrassment once in public place, when couple of people saw me scratching my crotch area via jeans.

Anyways, pimples are normal, but never heard it happening on dick. If it stays and you feel uncomfortable, just go see a doctor.

I notice that some clued-in and conscientious professionals are taking PrEP for their own protection.

Trust and credibility aside, if a service provider is genuinely taking PrEP according to the correct schedule will it give her customers any added protection?

Absolutely, if she is being protected, you are being protected.

Anyone has ever had a red pimple on their penis?

I got a red pimple after having sex, protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex.

As a person prone to pimples, I have had them almost everywhere over many years, including the balls. On dick is a bit unusual.

If it is a pimple, then harmless. Pimples are lumps, and can develop a white head (pustule).

Not really so red unless you irritated it by squeezing etc. So I am guessing you may have something that is not actually a 'Pimple'.

No experience with that.

Go get checked might be best if you have any doubts.

I agree that specialists are better than GPS normally, however still have had misdiagnosis by specialists. Worth getting a test to confirm. I insist.

One skin specialist diagnosed my scalp acne as dandruff. I was outraged, he could be so stupid. As a lay person with a lot of acne experience, I can tell the difference. A skin specialist ought to be able to understand also. Second skin specialist agreed was acne without doubt but is given a different medical terminology when under the hair. Just a silly example.

I did have to put up with Chlamydia far too long once because no test and specialist misdiagnosed (guessed wrong). Too much guessing going on. Agree that visible evidence can be fairly conclusive for some conditions, but not all. Normal GP once diagnosed "Cold Sores" on my mouth but skin specialist later laughed and said was very obvious to him they were Impetigo bacterial infection and not cold sores.

Sick of being given wrong treatments. Hence testing is important to me.

In all professions, humans are fallible and fuck up, so worth double checking anything where there can be doubt. Their is an old saying, "everyone gets promoted to one level above their level of competence". Or looking at it another way, very few are 100% competent to do their job. Everyone can learn and make mistakes.

All skin specialists are not specialist in infectious diseases, All skin specialists are not dermatopathologists. There are many kinds of skin specialists like bone specialists and other specialists, medicine is very vast. I always test to confirm. Tests are also misdiagnosed and not 100% accurate because some medical conditions may affect some antibody tests (HIV syphilis etc ). It's better to see a specialist to rule out some conditions, to diagnose you, to know your symptoms, your sexual history, your family history to give you the right medication and to test you for the right desease.

Every specialist must diagnose and send the sample to the lab to confirm it.

Just be mindful of incubation and detectability timelines.

I once had a horrendous recovery from tropical malaria as, by the time I got to a treatment centre, my blood samples had cleared and doctors were reluctant to provide medication. My blood may have been clear but I still felt like I was going to die for the next 30 days. Not a fun experience.

As a expert, just by looking at a penis I can say the diagnosis before the lab confirms. It's better to see a medical professional that's specialist in infectioous diseases. Concerning tests, often the faster the worse.

Mystified! Never heard of that! Not sure how it gets near. In Thailand we wash well, not just wipe with paper.

The reason for my extra caution is that I have been reading that most urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria present in your own body. I am not talking about sexually transmitted bacterias here but things like E. Coli for example.

So I am thinking about my own toiletry methods and I realise that the last piece of paper that I use on my ass I also use to wipe the uriine off my urethra. Now is there any possible contamination there? Maybe. So now I will use a clean piece of toilet paper from now on to do the final wipe of my urethra. It may be meaningless, but better safe than sorry. After that I always use soap and water to clean everything.

Mystified! Never heard of that! Not sure how it gets near. In Thailand we wash well, not just wipe with paper.

If you have something, best to get a test in a big hurry and be sure what it is! Guesswork is known to fail even when doctors do the guessing.

Even I if wanted to start treatment straight away, I would still get the test straight away as well. Sick of being diagnosed wrong.

And putting up with a problem too long for that reason.
E. g. "cold sores" that weren't, and were actually a simple bacterial infection, easily treated.

With all your hassles with the hospital, sounds like the wrong place. Hospitals charge a lot and seem to be slow. I can get immediate tests at Red Cross in Bangkok, cheaply and fast results. If there is no good fast clinic in Pattaya could be worth a trip to BKK. ha ha.

Surely there is a clinic that can take a look under the microscope and propose the likely tests needed, or am I wrong.
I recall a test outside Thailand where STD clinic took a dick swab and looked under the microscope straight away. The doctor then commented that the types of bacteria I was concerned about were not there, but healthy sperm was detected. ha ha. Not that long since my last cum. I reckon bacterial infections must be detectable quite quickly by experts if you are in the right place for it. At the time I had an eye infection, so was concerned in case was Chlamydia that may have been in genital region as well. Turned out not to be the case. No discharge but just making sure.

Now people think they catch STDs in the toilets, it's sad how the stigma can scare people. His eye infection was caused by the antibiotics he took. It's very common to have soreness and redness in the eyes, that's a side effect of the antibiotics. It's no use being paranoid. STD clinics are not able to detect every bacteria.

I am also going to be more careful when I go to the toilet to take a dump. To not to get any faeces near to my urethra.

Couple years back. I had same symptoms. After an expected BBBJ from MP girl in Bombay. Burning sensation while urination. Yellow discharge. Enlarged testis. After culture it turned out to be E-coli. Treated by Doxycycline.

Yes, I have been wondering for a while whether my UTI was caused by E Coli. It is interesting that we were both treated by doxycycline and it worked. Though I did not have enlarged testes like you experienced.

I am also going to be more careful when I go to the toilet to take a dump. To not to get any faeces near to my urethra.

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
