So I Recently Had And Pimple On The Shaft Of
Question: So I recently had and pimple on the shaft of my penis that became and open wound while having sex woth my long time girlfriend. well 2-3 days after I broke out into a rash. these little clear bumps. im curious of this could he a yeats infection due to the open wound. I guess my question is could the Candida bacteria have gotten into my skin from the open wound? She had a yeast infeftion prior to this about 2-3 weeks. So could that be the cause?
I ask becausr the symptoms are very similar to herpes which i hear cannstay dormant in your body for years wothout showing any signs or symptoms. So reading that did make me a bit nervous.
below are pictures of when I first noticed and today whoch is 4 days afterwards.
