This situation has me stumped, my nephew came to me because I am an RN. He apparently has a small series (2cm diameter) of bumps on the side of of penile shaft. They appear isolated and he claims to have some itching associated. I told him to put hydrocortisone crean on TID for two days and see if it is a rash. He is a 19 y/o male w/ two sex partners. He claims that his primary girlfriend has a problem with vaginal dryness during intercourse. NKDA – does not use a condom. Explain what condylomas and genital warts should look like, I havent examined any since my time in the Navy as a medic 10 years ago. He also claims they are itchy and painless. Almost appeared like ring worm appearance. What are your thoughts on yeast infection?
almost forgot he has not health insurance 
hence why he came to me first. Does planned parenthood help people like this out?
tell him to visit urologist, and if you suspect you got something to same, every male who has active sex with more than one partner or with partner who had more than one partners should have STDs test at least once a year, if male is found with STD he should tell his sex partners to have tests too, as healing only the one of the lovers does not work well.
as medic just tell him that visiting uroligist about STD is as normal as visiting GP about high fever
go with him if he is too shy to do so.
It’s certainly possible if his g/f is affected and he wears clothing that contributes to the warm moist environment like tidy whities. If you haven’t already, I would definitely do some patient education and inform said nephew of the hazards of not using prophylactic devices, and have him go see a doc.
