My doctor cannot identify my penis disease, please advise (photos)

It started roughly ten days ago when two tiny red dots appeared on my glans.

I've had several instances of Candidiasis in my life, so I thought it was it and started using an ointment based on Sertaconazole (it has always helped before). However after five days of treatment nothing changed, on the contrary the dots turned into some kind of redness. The redness hasn't changed during past three days. I don't have any sensations because of it - it's not itching or anything. To the touch it feels different than the rest of my penis. The redness is slightly protruded - half a millimeter I guess.

I have just one sexual partner and we've never had genital HSV. However my gf recently had shingles - quite a big 4 square inches spot on her back. Is it possible to develop shingles on a penis in just one place?

My doctor is unable to identify this disease and he insisted I had to be tested against genital HSV (a dubious proposition given that I've had no possible ways of contracting it).

The thing has become redder, but it hasn't changed much.

Am I correct thinking that there are no real doctors here?

A shingles outbreak must cause blisters and there's nothing yet still.

Could the pictures indicate any other disease? I still cannot believe it's herpes based.

Anyone?

Chicken pox or the vaccine could cause a shingles outbreak. Happens mostly later in life and most very often you only get the outbreak once in a life time.

Chickenpox and shingles are two different diseases even though they are caused by similar viruses from the same family (herpes).

> warts, hard in texture vrs soft

No warts or blisters so far (nine days after the first symptoms), the texture is a tad hardened. As for a fungal infection I'm not even sure local labs test for them (aside from Candidiasis).

In short I'm terribly confused - specially after my doctor couldn't identify it.

"Shingles is from...the vaccine????"  No way!

Hi, shingles is from chicken pox or the vaccine. Do test for hsv just to rule it out. Do they appear as warts, hard in texture vrs soft? It may just be a fungal infection. You can have a swab of the sores that may determine what they are or as last resort have a biopsy if your ovely concerned.
