red spot on my scrotum - syphilis or fungal infection Posted: 04-04-05 18:06pm
I have been active with my partner for
over 6 months. She lives in another city
now and I haven%u2019t seen her in about
three weeks, so we have not had
intercourse since then. A few days ago I
noticed a red spot on my scrotum when I
was getting ready to take a shower. Upon
inspection it resembled a large ant bite.
Slightly elevated red bump about one half
to three quarters of a centimeter in
diameter. It doesn%u2019t appear to be a
blister or have any fluid inside it. It
didn%u2019t hurt at all, no kinds of
discomfort even when touched. The next
day I once again checked, the mark was
slightly larger and there was another spot
smaller than the first. My worries began
to grow. Today I came home and checked
once again. The first spot is larger and
the center of the spot seems to be a more
pale color than the edges. There are a
couple more new small spots. I notified
my partner about it, but she has never had
any sports of any kind on her genital area
at any time. I did some research online
and the closest thing I could find was
syphilis. But as I understand, you can
only receive that disease by coming into
contact with someone else%u2019s sore, and
since my partner has never had any sores,
i%u2019m lead to believe it was not from
her. And if it was why appear now? It
seems that something would have happened
long ago. When the area was closer
inspected, I noticed that when you stretch
the scrotum, the spot is actually a red
ring with a pale center. I have no idea
what this is. My only guess other than
syphilis is some kind of fungal infection.
But I don%u2019t know why it would just
be on my scrotum. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you for your
time.
