Greetings - do not ignore - go to a qualified dermatologist / venereologist - for detailed evaluation and to do the necessary tests to rule out any STDs. Its tough to comment on the forum here - with limited symptoms that you have mentioned or without examining or photos.
Warm Regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru.
