Hi,

I got herpes this week and it's a horrible. When i pull back the foreskin of my penile (the foreskin was swollen so bad, it hurt so much), i saw many sores under the skin and some are bleeding.

I have taken valacyclovir for three days and i have less penile discharge and less pain now. But, i still worry, and need to know if the sores under the penile skin will dry up by itself?

I dare not to pull back the foreskin anytime soon as I'm still trauma sad

Thanks.

    I don't know exactly what to tell you, but if you keep it clean and dry it when you can it should take care of itself and your sores should heal up. Good luck.
