Q: I have a rash on the shaft of penis, and was wondering how to tell if its just random, or if it is an STD. It doesn,t hurt (itches) and its in a straight line, on the btm. I had it about 4 months ago.
Its not on my head or ball sack, and I had it for a week in early January before it went away naturally. It is not white tipped, or an open sore, looks like any regular rash. I also haven't had sex in months so I don't think it is from that, although I hear STD's can be dormant. It doesn't look like the herpes or syphilis pictures online either. I also havn't been in pain or discharging anything abnormally.
