It's important to remember that:
* STIs can have a wide range of symptoms, and many people don't have any visible signs. This makes self-diagnosis extremely unreliable and potentially dangerous.
* Describing an STI based on appearance can be misleading and inaccurate.
* It's crucial to seek professional medical advice for any concerns about your sexual health.
If you have any worries about your health, please reach out to:
* Your doctor: They can provide accurate information and recommend appropriate testing.
* A local sexual health clinic: These clinics offer confidential testing and treatment for STIs.
* Reliable online resources: The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and Planned Parenthood are great sources for information about STIs.
Remember, talking to a healthcare professional is the best way to get accurate information and ensure your health is protected.
