Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions over glans penis but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
From the history it does seem like recurrence of herpes progenitalis but the other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way. You have a feature to upload the images by yourself on the right side of this query page.
