penis sores,herpes or allergy??

1st time i had something like sores on penis head long back that i neglected and it got well in a week time on its own. it happened again when i went for syphillis,HIV,Chlamidiya testing all negative. it happened again third time and this time i got bit more wooried and searched internet and found closet similarity with herpes. BUT i never had blisters, never had tingling, never had pain a minute itching but never like the one u need to itch all day. Also everytime the sore appreaed i had sex. can the sores be due to alegy to condom or vaginal fluid ??

I am wooried and asked the doc to do herpes IgG 1 IgG2 test but report will come in a week. i feel like crying as i will b getting married next year and don't know what to say to my girl friend. she may feel that i m not faithful to her.

Recurrent sores in the penis can be herpes, yes. Have you waited 3-4 months after the first symptoms to get this blood test? Blood tests for herpes take 3-4 months to become positive.

Have your partner ever been tested for herpes?

Even if you're not having blisters down there, be seen by a doctor every time such sores appear to get them swabbed. It's the easiest way to exclude/include herpes as a cause.
