Herpes and male circumcision

[jerry3571]

Hi, around ten years ago I met a Partner and she had herpes and passed it on. As a circumcised man I have found the hepres picks on the scar region where the cut was made. I was three when I had this Op so it's an old scar. I've been on aciclovir tablets on and off for years but this area is still very prone to this infection. I get maybe 5-10 infections a year so it's still quite active. :/

I’m not sure what your question is? Having a genital infection, if you get out breaks, they sometimes reappear in the same spot. If they are happening where you have a scar, that could be the place where the virus find an easy spot to show itself. Did you have a specific question?

I was wondering if this is a thing or not. This scarred area does seem to be the only place where this infection keeps erupting. Herpes wouldn't be such a big thing if I didn't have this area. It's draining after ten years or so of this infection. It's supposed to decrease over time but it seems to have decreased only slightly. :/

I don’t think it’s uncommon for outbreaks to happen in the same spot over and over. It can switch spots sure but it might be an easy spot for the virus to emerge.
The amount of outbreaks varies from person to Parton. For some, they do decrease but thrrr isn’t really a rule for that. Maybe consider going on suppressive therapy for a while and see if it helps.
It’s not the spot on your penis that is causing the outbreaks. If you didn’t have that scar, the virus would simply find another spot to emerge from.

Thanks for that. Just coincidence maybe then. It just seems like a weak spot. I'm still slightly thinking the scar is a weak point. I guess lots of circumcised men would be complaining if it was that common I guess. I'll go back on my aciclovir tablets as you say. Thanks again
