Can Herpes Appear On Penis From Masturbation?

I have a soar on my penis from masterbation. I had a doctors appointment to be treated for infection. It appeared to look like staph. Kind of yellowish and wet. The doctor was not my normal Dr. She is treating me for herpes. Its been two days and seems to be the same. My question is, can herpes appear from masterbation? I have been married for seven years and both of us are faithful. Please help. I think the doctors did this because I told her I masterbate. Maybe she thinks I am a sicko.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Masturbation cannot cause herpes

Explanation: An ulcer like lesion may be herpes or STD. So, as your doctor is treating for you for herpes, she may be right as she has examined you. Trust your doctor and follow her advice.
If it does not subside you may visit her again or have a second opinion.
Good luck
