What causes boils on the penis head?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have experienced water-filled boils near my penis head. I wonder if it is herpes. I am worried and scared to see a doctor. Can I ever have sex with my wife again? Please advise what I should do.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

The probable causes include contact with irritant chemicals, improper genital hygiene, infection, uncontrolled sugar levels, or excess scratching and rubbing. Treatment plan:

Apply Fucidin cream twice daily for seven days.
Wash the area with Episoft cleanser (Salicylic acid) or no soap cleanser daily for two months.
Attach a clinical picture to assess so can guide you further. Relax and make yourself stress-free.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
