Can Blisters In Pubic Area And White Thing On Tip Of Penis Be Due To Herpes Infection?
I have a bad infection in my small intestine and have been on all kinds antibiotics, pain meds and steroids for the last 2 weeks in the hospital. im finally going home tomorrow and noticed there is blisters in pubic area above my genitals and there was a white thing on the tip of my penis...? it doesn t itch or hurt... I asked the GI doctor and he said it looked like herpes but didn t know for certain... is that what this is???
Yes it could be herpetic infection, but in most cases they are associated with pain and tenderness. I would advise you to send us the photograph for proper evaluation. Differential diagnosis also include candidal BALANITIS.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
