Does this on my penis look like a syphilis

Hello,

I'm posting a picture. I had a manipulation on my penis sometime ago. And it went fine.

And like 3 months ago I had a herpes on my penis; doctors prescribed antibiotics it went away.

However, at least stage I found/developed this on the picture. And I ignored it for sometime and I associated it with some genetic disorders. We live in a region with a lot of mosquitoes and I was bitten a few times by different insects during this summer (dog walks etc). So I had swollen legs at least 2 times. But the last time I developed red spots on my right leg. They looked like typical mosquito bites for I ignored them for sometime. But these 2 lesions on my penis combined with the red spots on my right leg incline me to think I might have syphilis. Ofc I need to find a good place and do blood work/tests. I might address this tomorrow as its hard to find a laboratory in my region. I'm posting pictures tell me what do you think about my situation. imageimage

    Thanks to the admin for letting my thread in and allowed a public discussion.

    Sadly the local laboratory works until midday and I'll try and go tomorrow (Saturday).

    Anyways I had penis circumcision like 1 year ago and it went perfect.

    What you could see on my penis I noticed after I used face product (for oily skin Mixa) on my penis.

    So I blamed it for the problem. And I blamed the insects for the leg red spots. I had acne 2-3 times this summer but my skin is very sensitive in general (oily skin + dirt = acne), so I blamed the weather and some medicamentation.

    I looked at the things as isolated and separate cases until now so the syphilis issues didnt come on my mind. Yesterday I researched about the syphilis and linked the "accidents". I need to get blood test done for sure. I'll be glad if somebody take the time to look into my pictures and tell me an opinion.

    What I saw on web is much worse, but my body usually survive such situations with minimal symptoms for example I had smallpox 4 years ago and it was almost impossible to tell I had it due to minimal spots on my body and face. It was the mildest possible version. So I'm afraid if I've the syphilis I've very mild symptomatic reaction again.

      Yes thank you for the post. I searched Google images and what I've on my penis looks like "textbook" as you said "annular lichen planus". I'm still doing the syphilis test, but the thing on my penis looks like "annular lichen planus" since the very beginning. I'm applying a cream with antibiotics right now, I'll report back when Ive results from the tests and at least 5 days of the cream therapy. It doesnt bother me so much but imagine if a woman sees this it looks really dodgy.

      Thank you for the headup mate. I'll check your posts later.

      Appreciate your time and the information you shared with me/us - other members of this community/ .

    its good to share, because it is something that the profession is not equipped to properly help with.

    if you have good results with the cream please share.

    its good you do the test just to be sure, but seems LP can cause plaques like the ones on your feet too, so to me it just reinforces diagnosis of LP.

    i think with daily use of oils and gentle daily hygene you will find the skin looks better and healthier, and the appearance may not be so obvious from this simple treatment.

    you will see in my posts things to consider include:

    clobestarol steroid cream (very pontent and use with caution)

    dead sea salts soaking.

    borage oil, shea butter, and other organic oils.

    no soap no shampoo

    high does of vit D

    purslane tea

    thanks in advance for keeping us updated.

    i will add that there have been studies that show aleo vera gel to be incredibly effective.

    i would advise getting the highest quality possible but it looks like one of the best things to include in a treatment plan and needs to be used for a solid 3 weeks to a month before results may be seen
