Treat an STD Rash in Melaka
STD Skin Conditions
Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) first show signs on the skin, especially in the genital, anal, or oral areas. These symptoms may appear as rashes, blisters, sores, bumps, or skin discoloration. Our doctor at Klinik Liysha is trained to identify and treat these visible skin conditions, often spotting issues early, even before lab tests confirm a diagnosis.
Types Of Skin Conditions We Can Help With
Herpes
This viral infection often causes small, painful blisters or ulcers on the genital or oral area, which may recur over time.
Syphilis
An early sign is a painless ulcer (chancre), usually followed by a widespread rash on the body, including the palms and soles.
HIV
HIV may lead to rashes, fungal infections, or viral skin lesions, especially when immunity is weakened.
Chlamydia
Chlamydia may cause redness, mild swelling, or discomfort around the urethra or vaginal opening, often accompanied by discharge that irritates the skin.
Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhea often causes thick discharge with redness or soreness at the opening of the urethra or cervix. In rare cases, it can cause red or purple pus-filled blisters on the limbs or trunk.
HPV
Human papillomavirus can cause soft, flesh-colored or cauliflower-like growths in the genital or anal region. These can be removed with treatment.
Other Skin-Related STD Symptoms
Not all STDs look the same, but here are some common symptoms that may need medical attention:
- Painful or itchy bumps, sores, or ulcers on the genitals, anus, or mouth
- Rashes or red spots on the body, especially the palms, soles, or lower torso
- Unusual growths or warts that may be caused by HPV
- Blister-like lesions that burst and crust, often linked to herpes
- Persistent itching, burning, or discomfort in private areas
- Skin peeling, scabbing, or discharge
You don’t need to wait for the symptoms to get worse. Early diagnosis means faster treatment and a lower chance of complications or spreading the infection to others.
Treatment Options
Once your diagnosis is confirmed, our team will guide you through a treatment plan that’s effective, evidence-based, and discreet.
Topical Creams
For conditions like genital warts (HPV), and fungal infections, prescription creams are often the first line of treatment. These work by targeting the virus or fungus on the skin surface, reducing lesions and discomfort.
Oral Medications
Bacterial infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis are usually treated with antibiotics. Antivirals may be prescribed for genital herpes, especially as long-term therapy to reduce recurrence and transmission risk.
Cryotherapy or Electrosurgery
Visible genital warts can also be removed using in-clinic procedures such as cryotherapy (freezing off warts with liquid nitrogen) or electrosurgery (burning off the lesions under local anaesthetic).
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Our dermatology-based STD assessments are designed to be professional, respectful, and discreet every step of the way.
Private Consultation:
You’ll first meet with our doctor or dermatologist in a private consultation room. We’ll take time to understand your concerns, symptoms (if any), sexual health history, and risk factors.
Visual Examination:
If you’re experiencing any visible symptoms such as rashes, ulcers, itching, or unusual skin changes, we may perform a gentle visual inspection of the affected area. This helps us identify early signs of common STDs like herpes, syphilis, HPV-related warts, or scabies.
Diagnostic Testing:
Depending on your symptoms and exposure history, we may recommend tests such as blood samples (for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis), swab tests (for herpes, gonorrhoea, chlamydia), or skin scrapings (for conditions like scabies or molluscum contagiosum). All tests are conducted with strict hygiene and sensitivity.
Once results are ready, we’ll explain your diagnosis clearly and discuss treatment options tailored to your needs. Most STDs can be effectively treated with oral medication, topical creams, or minor procedures—no hospitalisation needed.
