After examination, I found a round patch about the size of a penny on his glans, with a purple-red center and several blisters on it. The surrounding area was slightly red and the borders were neat.

The appearance is almost the same as that of these two sexually transmitted diseases.

      Before I could finish speaking, he was so happy that he immediately took out his cell phone and called his wife. But there was a loud yelling on the other end of the phone, saying that this was a lie. In desperation, he gave me his phone and begged me to tell his wife personally to prove his innocence.

      I hesitated for a while and finally picked up the phone. But before I could say a few words, the other end of the phone yelled at me: "You men are not good people. You worked together to deceive me. Why didn't he want me to accompany him when he went to the doctor?" I felt helpless after being scolded for being innocent. But then again,
