What is the recommended diagnostic and therapeutic approach for a patient presenting with a persistent penile ulcer of five days' duration that has failed to respond to multiple systemic corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, antihistamines, and topical antimicrobial-steroid creams?

Asked by Male, 25 · 1 month ago

Since the ulcer hasn't responded to standard antibiotics or steroids, the next best step is to consult a specialist, such as a urologist or dermatologist. They will likely recommend specific diagnostic tests, including a swab for viral infections like herpes simplex, blood tests for syphilis, or potentially a small tissue biopsy to find the exact cause. A specialist will help guide you safely through this.
