Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the kind of infections that can be transferred to a person from another one during copulation that can be vaginal, anal, or oral. There are quite a number of people who seldom show any of the symptoms. STDs can be dangerous if left untreated, they could lead to lifethreatening health problems such as cancer, organ damage, infertility and blindness.
What do sexually transmitted diseases (STD) have to do with dermatology? Many sexually transmitted diseases exhibit symptoms that affect your skin, so it’s not surprising that many men and women first learn they have an STD when they visit their dermatologists to find answers about changes in their skin. • Herpes Simplex Virus This disease leads to painful sores on your mouth or genitals. Herpes is caused by a virus, and while there is no cure, there are ways to manage the disease and reduce the risk of passing it along to a partner.
• Genital Warts These skin growths are caused by several strains of human papillomavirus. Most cases aren’t painful, but genital warts can be unsightly. • Chlamydia This disease is very common, and it can spread to your eyes if you touch an infected area and then rub your eyes or the surrounding skin.
Many STDs can cause a rash, sores, or other symptoms in the visible portion of your skin. It’s important to come in for a diagnostic exam any time you notice changes. STD testing is fast and straightforward, and treatment can begin the same day.
How Are STDs Treated?
Your treatment path depends on the type of infection and how far it has progressed. Many STDs caused by parasites or bacteria can be cleared up with a simple course of antibiotics.
