	Answer by Dr Bobby V, MD (doctor) on Tue 10, Jun 2008 12:14pm: Hi, Usually, it is possible to have a very good estimate of the lesion by looking at it. For example, herpes, genital warts, thrush etc have distinctive appearances, and their physical appearances are very suggestive. However, it is the usual practice to confirm the clinical impression by performing appropriate investigations to confirm the diagnosis. Please consult an internist, dermatologist, or a gynecologist for the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Wish you all the best.
