Could I have herpes in my penis
Posted , 2 users are following.
I have experienced a burning/tingling sensation on my penis. I have the sensation in the middle of my shaft and head of penis but it is hard to pin-point exactly where. I do have a very small red dot right at base of the head of penis.
The scary thing that i have experienced is a red bulge around the corona of my penis but i mostly see it after a warm shower or at the end of the day.
i had these symptoms for about 2 weeks now.
has anyone experienced something similar?

Hi, there are many skin disorders unrelated to std that can affect your genitals. Since you have one sore, I'm not totally sure it's herpes. Balanitis can also cause small cuts. You should see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. If I provide you with the wrong advice it can aggravate your condition.

update: i have been taking accutane for acne these past 6-5 months (current dose 60 mg). It turns out that this medication is causing this symptoms. I have now terminated my treatment and I am pending a follow up appointment with my derm.
How, I did follow up with my urologist and he diagnosed me with urine retention. I am pending to now if these could be a side effect of accutane.
