Itchy, Pus Filled Bumps Appeared On Penis Shaft After Intercourse. Cause And Cure?

Thank you for posting a query here.
Look, your description and picture indicates possibility of carbuncle or boils. These are infections of hair follicle. It may occur at any place of our body.
It is not a sexually transmitted disease. Most commonly it occurs due to poor hygiene.
But, you need a clinical examination for exact categorization of the lesion.
In case of carbuncle, you have to take a broad spectrum antibiotic either of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid combination or a doxycycline group of drug.
An antibiotic ointment like mupirocin can also be applied locally for a better result.
Besides, you have to take care of personal hygiene.
Lastly, consult with a general physician in person for a detailed clinical examination and a detailed prescription.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.
Regards.


Thank you for writing back.
Look, herpes is diagnosed on the basis of its area of distribution. On clinical examination, if it was suspected as a herpes, that wil be the final diagnosis.
Here, you have to depend on your treating doctor.
When a herpes rash gets complicated with secondary infection, that may be mistaken as carbuncle.
So, my opinion is to depend on your treating doctor.
Do the blood tests and keep following up.
Hope you have your answers.
