White, dry, flaky spot on penis shaft. Is it a STI? Something to be worried about?

Hi,

I noticed a single, white spot on my penis 4-5 days back. The day before, I had masturbated twice in quick successions. Also wanna add that I did had unprotected sex 3-4 months ago.

Here are the images:


Now coming to the spot. It’s weird and not very apparent when I’m hard. Have never had anything like that before. It’s dry. I tried rubbing it off with water like I’d do with dead skin. But then it turned into a white ring of sorts with a small dot in the middle. It itches a little bit.

Apart from all that, I do feel an overall increase in itching around my groin area, and a sharp, pinching pain in my shaft for a few secs ever since I noticed this spot. The pain is not unbearable and happens only a few times in the day, but it is noticeable.

I do plan on getting myself tested for STIs but have been putting it off cuz of the pandemic. So does it seems like serious or urgent?

Anyone?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

it could be a male yeast infection but its always best to go to the doctors anyway. yearly sti tests should really be done by everyone to make sure.

It has subsided a little bit since last night. And yeah, I’ll get myself tested in the next couple of weeks. Just wanted to see if it’s something serious or not.

any update on this? i have same problems..

i would suggest going to the doctors about it or doing an at home STI test

i did go to the doctor and have my STi blood test done, HBsag negative, HSV 1 &2 both igg and igm negative, VDRL TPHA negative, Anti HIV negative too.
This test was done 1 sep 2021 (11 months after unprotected sex) is it conclusive?

I am confused now what else to test…
pls advise..

i have just gotten some input from a local doctor that it could be related to chlamydia infection.
have tested for chlamydia yesterday through blood vein, and igg reactive igm non reactive.

im worried now…

I got the same problem, any updates please?
