I went to the doctor for other things other than my penis. I had a few more problems (that are not serious) that require me to visit a couple times a year.
To refresh everyone on my other issue. I had a bump on my penis that went away leaving a scar. I wanted to get it checked out. That and
I had a bad discharge coming out of my navel. It would crust over and become inflammed.
Not all STD tests are free. I know of the HIV swab tests that are free. Other than that nothing else. And if I got the regular STD test it wouldnt include a test for HPV and it would cost me money to get that test ran.
So the visit put me back $100 just to get in and another $100 for my new medicine and body wash. And in order for me to get to a Urologist to get the spot checked out I would have to pay $300 up front.
I am signing up for Obamacare soon to see if it could help me get to a doctor.
Regardless of everything I was treated badly when I went in and I am looking for another Dermatologist. You do not sit there and say things like “oh it lools like HPV.” To a patient and do not run the required tests.
