Suggest Treatment For Blisters On Foreskin
Hi doctor,
On Last week after I masturbate, my foreskin sudden have kinda like blister appeared. I thought it will clear out after a few days but it didn't until yesterday I went consult doctor where nearby my hostel. The doctor let me try out steroid cream for 1-2 weeks, if it persists he ask me to have a blood check up. He suspect my blood has infected some virus. I am very scare right now. What do you think doctor on your view on my situation? Thanks

Thanks for contacting HCM
You are concerned about blisters on your penis and what could they be. If you have been sexually active at any time with another person then you still run the risk of having contracted herpes simplex infection. You did seek medical attention which was a good idea but I think your doctor should have taken cultures of the blister to determine if it was herpes. If the blister was already healed then a culture would not be helpful.
I agree with using the steroid cream to see if it helps. I also recommend that you do have the blood work done to determine if you have been exposed to HSV.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your medical questions and concerns
