Painless red spots on glans and foreskin, Balanitis or?

Hi everyone,

Little detail about me first, I had done a Herpes 2 igg test with a 3.1 result back in 6months ago. Doctor said have genital herpes. I told him I have never had any lesion or pain coming from my genital area, he said not every herpes 2 carrier will experience lesions in their whole life.

Anyways, I was showering 2 days ago and found these red patch/spots on my glans and foreskin. They are painless, I can urinate and masturbate normally. It's just the red color that concerns me.

Is this Balanitis? Or is it Herpes 2? Should I find a dermatologist to cheeck it out?

Thanks,

Stanley

    Hello Stanley 

    I am facing similar issues. I have not tested for herps. My urologist said that it is balanitis. Although after taking doxy and itraconazole capsules for 20 days now still no improvement.

    Do you also get shinny glans after washing it??

    pics attached.

      So i should say i got herps too sad. As my current medications are having no improvement on my issue.

      I am applying onabet and taking doxy and itranazole caps for 20 days now. What is the cure for herps bro?
