Small white, scaly patch on foreskin, had unprotected encounter. Herpes or STD?
Patient: Hello...I have a small white scaly skin patch on my foreskin . About 2 weeks ago a had an unprotected encounter, just hands touching my genitals, a brief moment of oral sex , no intercourse. I m scared to death of herpes or any other std . Several days ago I got the flu like symptoms, sore throat, no fever. I don t think there is any discharge from my penis... Doctor: Hi small white scaly patch over the penis can be candidiasis rather than herpes.because in herpes we get erythematous papules all over the penile skin which will subside by one week.Candidiasis on genital areas can be due to diabetes or white discharge in the partner.it can be treated by flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for three weeks along with application of  onabet ointment twice daily can cure the condition
