Hello Dr. I'm a 50 yr old married man. Ever since i got married, i have only had vaginal sex with my wife. I've had unprotected oral sex and hand jobs from other women, (about 1/2 a dozen in total) though.
About a year ago, i found a lesion on my penis that was round but It never had a blister or any liquid. The lesion looks like a thinner skin with the skin in the edges peeling off. After a week or so it was gone.
Two weeks ago a similar lesion appeared on the right side.
I've had cold sores in the past, and many different skin conditions: eczema and psoriasis in my fingers. Even now i have some dry skin on my fingers that is similar to what I see on my penis.
From what i read in these forums, Herpes can only be passed with skin to skin contact, and from mouth to penis only if you never had cold sores.
So the question is: could this be herpes? If not, what?
Thank you for your answer!
