Is this Herpes or any other STD?

little context:I haven't been sexually active since the end of December. This just popped up in the last week and a half. It's dry, and sometimes I can peel a layer of dead skin (scab) off of it and it HURTS to do that. The area around the bottom of the base of the head also definitely shows dry skin when I masturbate... really trying to avoid going to a doctor about my penis here.

    Looks like what I just had, swab test came back positive for herpes. You can get a swab test as long as you have active sores.

    Are you having any other issues like headaches or flu-like symptoms? I’d go ahead and get tested just for peace of mind.

      Ok well keep us posted. I didn’t have any real symptoms and tested positive for H2 via blood test during my annual exam last year. The only thing I notice is increased itchiness down there on occasion. This virus is very tricky!
