Hi I was hoping I can find some advice online. Ive been looking everywhere and I'm so scared and freaked out...i really would appreciate some input. I posted some pics on here if that helps. This happens every time I have sex or masturbate. Its been going on for the past 3 months. Same girl. Now I know she had a yeast infection right before this all started. But I'm worried that this might be herpes. It doesn't hurt when i touch. Doesn't itch, or blister, its more like a rash that gets aggravated when I have sex or masturbate. Even an erection can aggravate it. All the pics Ive seen online resembles balanitus but I have read balanitus can be caused by herpes. I went to a walk in clinic last month and the doctor said she doesn't believe its herpes. I told her all the research Ive been doing hints to it and she replied by saying she went to med school and thats not herpes and recommended that I go to a dermatologist. Plea if anyone has something similar or can offer any advice Id really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance

    Doesn’t look like herpes at all but you can get a blood test to put your mind at rest if you’re still worried

    Sounds like balanitus, which men can obviously get without herpes.
