Had Vesicular Rash On Penis, Screened For Std, HIV. Masturbation Or Not Regular Change Of Undergarments Causing?

I had a vesicular rash last week on my penis. It lasted for a few days. I have them occasionally. I have been screened for STDs including HIV. My test for herpes antibodies was negative. I often wear my boxer underwears for a few days when they really smell. Could this be the cause? Could masturbation cause this? I am 31, african

We undestand your concerns

Your doubts should be definitely correct. Underwears are supposed to be washed every day and changed every day. Your private portions needs circulation of abundant air so as keep it out of bacterial or virl infections. You might be aware that damp air llows these micro organisms to grow. If you use the same undergarment every day, Soap particles, sweat moisture and some othe factors allows micro organism growth and can create problems which you are experiencing now.

Be clean and hygeinic.
Wish you speedy recovery.
