Rash

[bisena]

Basically i have this rash on my penis that is red and raised up a little bit. Its a little bit itchy but not so bad that i feel the need to see the doctor immediately. It also doesnt match the symptoms or pictures i have been able to look up enough for me to think it is herpes.  One thing to add is that i have 2 pubic follicles at the base of the penis that have never produced hair that became inflamed around the same time. I am sexually active but always use a condom.

I can add a pictures tomorrow if that will help

Hi there -

No need for pics here since we can't diagnose you over the internet, even if we were docs in this forum.

A rash can be so many things, and you should get it checked by a doc.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but it really could be herpes, warts, an allergic reaction, dermatitis, etc.

I was planning on hitting the doc if the final confirmation that it is herpes occurs, though until then i dont believe it is. Basically if they become blisters and "pop" forming ulcers i believe is the dead givaway.  If it doesnt clear up in 2 or 3 days im gonna go anyway though(had them for about a little over a week).

Herpes doesn't always blister and burst.  Some people only get bumps, redness, irritation or itching.
