small scattered or grouped vesicles, 1 to 3 mm in size, on glans or shaft of penis. Appear as
erosions if vesicular membrane breaks. Causative agent is HSV2, and incubation time is 2 to 7
days after exposure. Primary episode may be asymptomatic and recurrence is usually less
painful and of shorter duration. Associated with fever, malaise, HA, arthralgias, local pain and
edema, lymphadenopathy. Must distinguish this from herpes zoster in older adults (dermatomal
distribution?) and candidiasis. - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----Genital Herpes- Male

pallidum. It may remain hidden and undetected in the vagina and heals regardless of treatment
in 3 to 6 weeks. - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----Chancre: Female
dome-shaped white or yellow papules or nodules formed by occluded follicles filled with keratin
debris of desquamated follicular epithelium. Commonly benign. - ---✔✔✔ANSWER-

an epidermoid cyst
Single or multiple papules or plaques of variable shapes; may be round, pointed, or thin and
slender. May be raised, flat, or cauliflower-like. HPV is causative agent. Carcinogenic subtypes
are rare. Incubation of weeks to months, and infected contact may have no visible warts. May
disappear without treatment. Common areas include penis, scrotum, groin, thighs, anus.
Usually asymptomatic but may causes pain and itching. - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----
