Suggest cure for a skin infection near the anus
Patient: I just noticed some raised what feels like and looks like a keloid or rough skin lesion (skin colored) right next to my anus. I have been tested, no STDs but I do have HPV (no symptoms). Could this simply be scarring from rougher sex or something else? When should I be concerned? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Wart which is painless and itching are the classical of Wart which is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV).Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection can be transmitted to the partner as this is a sexually transmitted disease.This should be diagnosed by physical examination and confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).The treatment for this condition includesCryotherapy- which should be done in the hospital.orLocal application of 0.5% solution of podophyllin, which should be applied twice daily for 3 days and nothing should be applied for next 4 days (7 days cycle). This cycle should be continued for 4 weeks.orLocal application of 5% Imiquimod cream for 3 times in a week for 16 weeks (4 months).Thank you.
