What Are The Symptoms Of Herpes?

I have sever small cuts or slight abrasions on penis foreskin for over 6 months. I have no pain or any type of puss or shows of infections. I do masturbate a lot and it seems to that the skin is tearing from masturbation? I also have extremely dry skin? Could it be herpes?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Herpes usually presents with blisters which might be painful and itchy and/or ulcers in the genital area, itching, burning or tingling sensations in the skin and some individuals may develop fever, body aches and swollen lymph nodes.

Since you do not report blisters and it is less likely that you have herpes manifestation.

The cuts on your foreskin are because of rough masturbation. This can cause infection and complications as your skin is dry. Please decrease masturbation and use a lubricant to avoid friction and abrasion on skin.
