- Be prepared to discuss all sexual partners for contact tracing purposes.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area of skin concern.
Risks & possible complications
- Risk of misdiagnosis if skin lesions are not typical, leading to delayed treatment.
- Minor pain, bleeding, or infection at a biopsy site, though this is rare.
- Progression to systemic complications (e.g., septic arthritis, endocarditis) if the underlying gonorrhea is not treated promptly with appropriate antibiotics.
- Development of antibiotic-resistant strains if treatment is incomplete or incorrect.
- Potential for recurrent infection if sexual partners are not treated concurrently.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery from the dermatological procedure (like a biopsy) is swift, with wound care as instructed.
- The primary recovery involves completing the full course of prescribed oral or injectable antibiotics to eradicate the infection.
- Skin lesions typically resolve within days to a week after starting effective antibiotic therapy.
- Avoid sexual contact until treatment is completed and a test-of-cure confirms eradication, usually 7-14 days post-treatment.
- Attend all follow-up appointments for test-of-cure and screening for other STIs.
