What about the skin peeling off the head of my penis?
Also worried about the head of my penis becoming very wrinkled.
I am currently on holiday in south east asia this incident occurred in Thailand and I have been frantically washing my penis with all the soaps and lotions I have found in the three different hotels I have stayed in since could this be a cause. Also the sex was during a massage where my penis was rubbed with an oil in an unmarked bottle. How long do I have to get two a doctor I will be home in 10 days can I afford to wait that long. If its herpes with correct treatment and medication can the lesions be stopped from occurring.
Thanks for writing again.
Herpes lesions can appear as soon as 5 days after the infection.
The skin peeling off the head of yoru penis may be due to a secondary bacterial infection. The wrinkled appearance will become normal once the infection subsides.
Since you are traveling, you can use an antiseptic and antifungal ointments like neosporin and lotrimin available over the counter for now. Avoid using different lotions or soaps for cleaning the area.
Clean the area with a mild soap after retracting he foreskin.
If using teh ointments brings some relief then you can wait for 10 days and can consult your dermatologist when you reach home.
Herpes can be cured with proper and timely treatment. Please do not worry.
Hope my answer is helpful.

Also how soon can I get accurately tested for HIV. Also does HIV infection occur 100%
Of the time when an infected woman in contact with an uninfected man. Note after sex she was slightly bleeding.
If you were wearing a condom, then the chances of HIV transmission are remote even if she was bleeding after the act or she was infected with HIV.
The chances of getting an infection in your case are less than 0.1%.
Still you can get the screening test done six months after the exposure to be sure about your status.
I hope, this clears your doubt.
Wishing you an early trouble free recovery. Do accept the answer if there are no further queries.
