Hello, for years I've gotten (intermittent) sores on the shaft of my penis. They feel kind of like how a cold sore does when one first starts, as I get those too, however, the sores on my penis don`t get big and scabby like my cold sores do. The similarity to cold sores is the initial tingly itchy feeling. Additionally, there`s a reddish imflamaiton and white bumps that weep when you rub or scratch them.
