i just got back from traveling to Brazil and i noticed these blisters on the base of my penis. But i haven't had sex since the last time i was tested for STDs. its veterans day weekend so my doctor wont be open for a few days. i have no other symptoms then these blisters. they dont hurt and i dont feel like i have the flu or any cold. the only conclusion i have if they are herpes is that i used the same disposable razor on my face to shave my genitals. and I have HSV1. but i have never had a break out. besides herpes what else could it be. File size is too big

    you shouldnt have used the same razor on your face to your private area! thats a big no no. you were probably shedding or had a mild outbreak from hsv1 n transfer it to your penis

    Hello. It does appear to be herpes you may want to have it swabbed.

    The photo does appear to be herpes, but we can't diagnose you. When your doctors office opens, please make an appointment.
