Hi,
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.
Regards,
Dr. Atishay Bukharia
