I got diagnosed with genetal herpes from a blood test about a month ago. I went to the doctor because I had redness and a burning sensation on my penis after sex and at first I belived it was just friction burn but began to worry when it didnt go away after 2 weeks. the doctor gave me acyclovir and then nystain topical powder after the acylovir did not do anything for me and that also didnt work for me. Ive been to a dermatologist and he gave me gabapentin but that also hasnt worked at all. Is it possible it is something else and not herpes? This is what it looks like
