I'm a virgin and I've noticed some rashes on my foreskin along with a swollen tip of my penis. There's no itching, pain, or discomfort though. Could you tell me what might be going on?

View allI've just been told I have a small prostatic cyst that's about 6mm. Should I be worried about this? What's the typical treatment for something like this?
A 6mm prostatic cyst is generally considered small and may not be a cause for concern, as 5-8% of men have small prostatic cysts. However, it's essential to monitor it, as larger cysts can cause complications like urinary tract infections, hematuria, and voiding dysfunction. Treatment options vary depending on symptoms and cyst size. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical excision, transurethral cyst catheterization, or other non-surgical interventions.

I'm really concerned about this swelling in my meatus. It's a dark blue color with some red dots. I've been seeing a surgeon for a while, and initially, they prescribed ciprofloxacin and some fungal medicine, but nothing has changed. I even tried more antibiotics, but it's been two weeks and still no improvement. My urine routine, culture, and ultrasound results all came back normal. What could be going on?
Reliable HIV testing after 6 years. The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate. Interpretation: 1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens. 2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure. Nasal steroids: 1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests. You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider: 1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already. 2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active. Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.

I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis. They've been there for over two months. I don't feel any itching, and they showed up around the time I last had sex. I was already tested, and the V.D.R.L. test came back negative. Should I be doing another test, or is there something else I can do? I'm really concerned about whether I might have an STD. I'm also considering sharing some pictures for reference. What do you think?
