How To Heal A Sex Mediated Wound On Penis Area?

Hi sir,
I have a small wound on penis happened during sex. Little drop of blood was there yesterday, no pain. The same happend 2 months back and used the ointment "Herperax Acyclovir ointment USP 5%" as suggested by doctor. So there was a wound mark after wound has been done. Now the wound has created on the same place, i believe since there is a mark and the strain occurred on the same place. Could you please suggest a way to heal it fast or what specialized doctor should i consult?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Minor traumatic wound on penis would heal on its own. You can apply a topical mupirocin ointment to prevent secondary bacterial infection.

However as you mentioned, in the past you had applied Herperax ointment(as prescribed by your doctor) which contains Acyclovir(an antiviral) and also since it has recurred again in the same place, it suggests a possibility herpes to me.

Since i don't have the opportunity to examine the lesion, therefore, I would advice that you visit a dermatologist for a physical examination of the ares of concern. Your dermatologist might ask you about your sexual history and also might ask you to get a few tests if he/she suspects it to be herpes.

take care
regards
