I would like to rule out possibility of genital herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (Dermatologist and venereologist). I have gone through your query and I have reviewed the Images.

In the Images I can see scattered superficial sores/ erosions as well as some intact vesicles on shaft of penis.
I would keep a possibility of Genital Herpes. I suggest you to screen for Hsv by ELISA (Type 1 and Type 2 Hsv). It is a blood test.

thank you, what are your thoughts on it being a yeast infection?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Kakkar (24 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not a yeast infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Absolutely not.
Yeast usually involves the glans and undersurface of prepuce. Not the skin of shaft. Moreover, it presents as superficial red spots rather than as raised lesions. It is itchy too.
