    Yes the second photo you have posted does look completely healthy! Nothing to be seen from the first photo either - so you either have nothing going on, such as the tests would suggest, or the photos are completely enable to capture what it is that you see in front of you.

    So when you say " making me think the worst! " - what do you imagine it could be?

    thanks for your reply. I sometimes have very bad health anxiety hence thinking the worst. the doctor hasn't seen it I just described to him over the phone and I was prescribed a 7 day course. right now its tender and red in the mornings when I wake up. the frenulum is pretty red and at either side , this part worries me. I read a lot of horror stories online about symptoms of cancer etc and I dwell on the worst. I've been on these tablets now for 5 days and still not much improvement
