I have been experiencing itching on my penis for more than three weeks, without any pain during urination. On November 1st, I had sexual contact with my girlfriend and developed red rashes on my body and pimples on my face. I consulted a dermatologist, who advised HIV and VDRL tests, both results were negative. I took some liver supporting medication for a few days, which cleared most of the rashes except on my hips. However, on December 29th, I noticed white patches on my penile foreskin. I am unsure whether this is related to a skin issue, indigestion, or something else. I have also shared a picture of the foreskin for reference. Could you please help me understand what this might be and which doctor I should consult?

Itching and white patches on the penis may result from fungal infection or dermatitis. Since HIV and VDRL are negative, a skin specialist (dermatologist) can evaluate further. Personal hygiene and avoiding irritants are important.

Question

Please sir, tell me if there is any problem in my urine test report? I observed smoothness in urine and sometimes irritation, so I went for a urine test.

Question

Hi Doctor, during my 19th week of pregnancy, my urine test report showed blood detected in the urine. Is this something to be concerned about?

My mother, age 59, had itching near the urinary area along with white discharge. She is on medication for sugar and blood pressure. We visited a gynecologist and she told us to do a NILM Pap smear test. The report says reactive changes observed associated with inflammation and atrophy. What does this mean? The gynecologist is on a one week leave. Is it anything to worry about?
