Do I have Herpes
by scaredlikeneverbefore, Oct 27, 2008 12:25PM
So I had unprotected oral a few days ago and I just noticed some red irritation under my penis. It is located under the head on the shaft. It feels irritated and has a very minor burning feeling also. No itching, no painful urination, no sores, no painful urination at this point. When I look at it it almost looks like it could turn into sores at some point. Is this the beginning stages of herpes? I'm so freaked out.

This could be balanitis. Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis. When the foreskin (or prepuce) is also affected, it is termed balanoposthitis.
Inflammation has many possible causes, including irritation by environmental substances, physical trauma, and infection by a wide variety of pathogens, including bacteria, virus, or fungus—each of which require a particular treatment.
Retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. Apply bacitracin if bacterial infection is suspected.
Apply topical clotrimazole for adult men with probable candidal balanitis.
If the symptoms persist, you would need to consult your doctor.
