How Can Herpes Like Rash On The Foreskin And Glans Penis Be Treated?

This it a little awkward but I have a weird rash on my foreskin and head of penis. I haven t been sexually active in almost 3 months and was with that person for about 4 months so I d like to think that std is out of the question (although from what I ve searched it looks like herpes. The rash is really dry, sometimes shiny, and itches like crazy. I also have tiny little bumps on my head that are not pearly peniles. I have no other symptoms or rashes or discharge that I m aware of but any advice is welcome. If I had to guess I would say maybe a male yeast infection.? I don t know though someone please help. If necessary I can post pictures

dear user

about your question i would like to tell you that these symptoms of rash on the penis refer to having viral or bacterial or some times fungal infection
....so if you found small blisters around penis and itching it suggest viral infection of hsv2 that aquired by sexual contact..you should see your doctor to examine you clinically
you need to do some investigations for that as urine culture as primary investigative test of bacterial infection as in this case you should have antibiotics for treatment .........discuss with your doctor to do urine culture and if bacterial infection suspected do antibiotic sensitivity test as it will help alot.......you should drink alot of fluids and limit your sexual contact with others untill treatment completed........


wish you healthy life
