What Is The Cause For Sores On The Head Of My Penis When On A Topical Cream?

Hello, I went to my Dr. because I was worried that I had contracted genital herpes. He did a test and I did not test positive for the HSV2 virus. I have sores that look sort of like a herpes outbreak on the head of my penis that is not going away. He gave me a topical cream thinking it might be a fungal infection and I have been using it for over a week now and it has not changed at all. They have scabbed over and the scabs come off and they are constantly oozing a clear liquid

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

If the serological test for herpes has come negative, then you may not worry much. You may repeat it as well. But if it again comes negative then you have to leave your worries as the test is quite sensitive and specific.
It might be a fugal infection. You may upload some pictures of the lesion with your question which can give us a better picture of your illness.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want any further details about this same issue you can use the below mentioned link:
