Visual clues - dermatological manifestations of sexually transmitted infections in men

Abstract

Considering the increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, accurate diagnosis and management based on the diverse dermatological presentations of sexually transmitted infections are crucial. A strong visual diagnostic skill set guides clinicians towards prompt recognition, directs appropriate diagnostic testing and enables timely initiation of treatment. This procedure in turn helps to interrupt infection transmission and mitigate long-term complications. Thus, incorporating visual learning and a dermatological perspective into urology training is essential, empowering urologists to make a difference in improving sexual health outcomes and supporting public health efforts.
