How To Treat White Patch On Top Of Penis While Having HSV2?
Yes, thank you. I ve been having a medium sized white patchy dry skin on the top of my penis. Near where my bladder is, right below where my penis begins. I do have HSV2. I ve been having this dry skin issue for years and finally it was dry enough to crack and bleed. What do I do?? Also another question, I ve concluded my own prognosis on myself I have dry dark patches of skin on my torso area, which I believe is what they call pitryisis rosea. What do I do?? Please HELP

Hello,
White patch on penis head is unlikely to be due to herpes simplex infection. Herpes simplex infection leads to painful fluid filled vesicles. I suggest you to consult your dermatologist for clinical assessment, diagnosis and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
