When going to hospital for treatment of penile ulcers, usually choose dermatology or venereology. The common clinical presentation of penile ulcers is a deeper defect on the surface of the penis or head with redness, swelling and mucous or pus exudate. If there has been a history of impure sexual intercourse or other high-risk behaviour prior to the onset of the ulcer, a visit to a venereal disease unit should be considered first.
