If you have never had sex, you can't have an STD; and that is my only expertise. I am not a dermatologist. Sorry, I can't help further. Don't use lotrimin without a doctor's approval.

The doctor said it was jock itch and i've never engaged in sexual intercourse. Anyways how long do you think it should take to start clearing up?
Jock itch doesn't normally involve the penis. "Sores" or "blisters" on the penis often are herpes.

there more pimples than blisters and sores. They don't itch or hurt. I can't pop them there like rocks when I put pressure on them. They are just there and I can't get them to go away. They don't bother me really at all. I don't know how I got them (thinking baseball cup), I'm really not sure how to get them to go away except use lotrimin or whatever, which i have been for the past week and there hasn't really been any improvement that i could notice. think you know what it is? or do you need some more information.
I have some sore / blisters on my penis. I was prescribed lotrimin i think (anti-fungal cream) i have used it about twice a day for a little over a week now. I don't really see any changes in its status. is this normal? I think it might just be jock itch.
If you have psoriasis (scorsis misspelled??), that sounds like a good bet; psoriasis often involves the penis, and in moist areas (like under the foreskin) often causes "soft" lesions, not the crusty/flaky ones that occur on dry skin. In any case, It doesn't sound like herpes or any other STD. Continue to follow through with the health care provider you have been seeing; or ask him/her to refer you to a dermatologist for a 2nd opinion. Or consider posting your question to Dr. Rockoff on the MedHelp dermatology forum.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
