Brief Answer:
Probably not Herpes, more details are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many medical conditions that can cause cuts in the penis.

Herpes simplex virus is characterised by blisters.

More details are needed to help me through the diagnosis.

How old are you?

Are you sexually active?

Do you have any other medical conditions?

Meanwhile, I recommend keeping a good hygiene.

I suggest to wash regularly the genital area.

I also recommend to use an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.

I also recommend to use anti-inflammatory medication in case of pain such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three tablets a day.

I will be waiting for your response to help you better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
I suggest using a mild chemical free soap with no fragrance.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,

As I see through your query you had unprotected intercourse.

So, I suggest doing an STD screening test to exclude any possible infection.

Meanwhile, I suggest using a mild chemical free soap with no fragrance.

I also suggest to dry the area with a clean towel and then apply Neosporin cream to treat a possible infection.

Hope my answer was helpful.

Take care,

Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
