Are this penis herpes? Help!
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello!
some weeks ago I discovered two small pimples on my penis. Does anybody know what they could be?
I caught a cold, had fever and quite bad inflammation in the throat. Then I went to the doctor and recieved KEFEXIN (Cefalexin) tablets. Two or three hours after taking the first two KEFEXIN tables I felt itchy in my upper lip and then some herpes turned up - I've had herpes in the same spot a couple of times before so this was nothing new to me. Then I went to the pharmacy and bought some Aciclovir tables. The inflammation went away the next day and the herpes on the lip after four or five days. However, I accidentally discovered these two pimples on my penis. I was 100% sure that they were not there before.
Now I've been having them for weeks and they just won't go away. They are neither itchy nor painful but it just feels super weird to have them on my penis. The pimple in the first picture was smaller than the one in the second page when I discovered them, and now they are almost of the same size.
Does anybody know what they are? Could they have anything to do with the herpes on my lip? But why won't they disappear?

When last sis you have sexual contact w someone?
Have you tried squeezing them?
They look like there's a possibility of being herpes or genital warts. Hard to tell w pic and everyone presents herpes differently.

The skin looks rather thin. Seems that there is something white inside and the bottom is a bit reddish...now when I scrutinise them I realise that there are two tiny ones growing closer to these pimples. I assume that these will become similar size in one or two weeks.
I tried to squeeze one of them when I first discovered them. It didn't break and I just stopped because I was afraid the liquid inside could be infectious.
Shall I consult a dermatologist for this?

I don't think my partner has anything similar in the genital area.

Based on your description and having flu like symptom's along w it, sounds like it is herpes. Go ASAP to the doctor to have it swabbed (may or may not come back w false negative, since they haven't ulcerated).
If it turns out not to be HSV 1 on the genitals, then that means your partner is an asymptomatic carrier if HSV 2. Either way, this happens more often than you realize in monogamous relationships.

He suggested that I test with anti-herpes medicin for 10 days now and see if the pimple/blister disappear. If not then I will take some tests and see if they can be identified.
So I received VALAVIR 500 MG (Valacyclovir) for 10 days use. Will report then how it goes.

I've always been having a couple of small skin tags on my neck and one on my waist. A couple of months ago I realised that some very small ones were growing around those on my neck. But they are still very very small.
I wonder if I always have wart virus in my body and they start showing up in new places when my immune systeme is weak?

The fact that they've been around as long as they have w no change, makes it a little more likely that they are warts.
Your doctor wasn't much help. I suggest seeing a dermatologist next time and then if they are warts, they can at least treat them at that appt.

BTW I've also been suffering from red & swollen foreskin (area near the underside of glans / frenulum area) with occasional paper cuts since 1.5 years - especially after intercourses. Have done tests for fungi & STD but all negative. Have been trying cream against fungi and steroid cortisone but nothing has helped. Now I'm suspecting it could be genital psoriasis as the description of this desiese is extremely close to my symptoms. Already discussed with my doctor about this and I will get an appointment with a dermatologist - hopefully soon.
Could this have anything to do with the possible warts?
Jesus...so many difficult problems down there....

Herpes will causing swelling, redness andwhat looks like paper cuts. You may have also picked up warts recently, or those could also be herpes bumps.
You need to request a blood test for herpes.

Keep in mind, that herpes can still spread w no symptoms and w use of condoms.

Now I've been using the valacyclovir for 6 days and there seems to be no changes at all with these pimples/blisters.
