Hello,
Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com. I am one of the in-house physicians here and your consult is to be assigned to the STD specialist. Meanwhile I request you to share picture(s) of the concerned area as follow-up. Without a high resolution pic(s) it would be very difficult for the specialist to opine/guide you further.

Patient replied :

I would not mind sending you a picture, however the bump is so small, it won't show up in the photo. The bump right by the opening of my urethra.


Hello,
I can understand your hesitation, but rest assured the images are maintained confidential.
Without a picture, it is difficult to determine whether you are having mild irritation or the beginning of an STD or a urinary tract infection.
Additionally kindly provide details regarding, how soon after sexual intercourse your symtpoms began.
Do you experience any burning while urinating? Have you had a fever?
Have you noticed any penile discharge?
Feel free to discuss further


Patient replied :

It began about 3 days after the unprotected sex... No burning, just mild discomfort, and no fever. the tiniest amount of milky liquid (you can kind of see in the picture).


Hello,

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com

I can understand your concern.

The bump seems to be a bacterial infection of the skin.

I would recommend that you apply Mupirocin cream on the bump twice daily for a week. In case the milky discharge increases you might need to visit your dermatologist to get a prescription for an oral antibiotic like norfloxacin.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care
Regards.
