Could White Blistery Sores On Penis Indicate Genital Herpes?

I think but I m not 100 percent sure that I may have genital herpes (penis head) I am a very clean person and always safe my last sexual interaction was atleast a month ago. I have little white blister like sores on my penis head and is pretty sore. What can I do. I m not overly keen to go to a clinic as iv never been in this situation before and it is not a comfortable situation to be in. What can I use to take the sores away??

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
As per your query, you might have genital herpes. classic genital herpes lesions resemble small pimples or blisters that eventually crust over and finally scab like a small cut. These lesions often appear within the first two weeks the virus is transmitted and can take between two to four weeks to heal.There are a number of other conditions that could also cause small blister or spots over penis,
1. fungal infection
2.Genital warts
3.syphilis can also cause lesions on the genitals

All the conditions above can be transmitted through sexual contact, so until you figure out what you have, you may want to be extra careful about protecting your partner from direct contact with the lesions or from genital to genital contact.

The best thing to do would be to visit a physician, and he would provide you with a specific diagnosis.

Hope your query is solved
Get well soon
