sore on penis
I have had a red painful sore on my penis between the shaft and head, (just where the forskin folds)now for 7 days, it began with a little sore, i usually get it from having rough sex but it seems like it does not want to go away, my scrotums feel very sore and there is a swollen gland on the inside of my thigh in the groin area, are these symptoms of herpes or do i have a yeast infection of some sorts?

If you have any suspicious symptoms, you should see your doc. No one here can tell you if its herpes or not, and the symptoms can be from a fungal infection, herpes, dermatitis, an allergic reaction, friction, etc. That's why its so important that you let a doc see it and culture it within 24-48 hours of getting the sore, if possible.
