What Causes Recurring Spots On The Penis Shaft?
I have been getting recurring lesions in identical spots on the shaft of the penis for several years now. They last 4 or 5 days and become very painful when touched or when rubbing against underwear. They seem to rec\cur several times a year. Is this dermatological disorder or is it a form of genital herpes? Is it contagious?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I feel that probably it may be herpes progenitalis. The vesicular lesions occur frequently and there may be burning pain in the lesions. It is a contagious skin disease. It is sexually transmitted diseases caused by herpes virus. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Antiviral like Acyclovir might control the disease.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
