Is herpes manifestation in the genital region of men harmless like acne in the same region?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I appreciate the confidence that you place in me for your healthcare consultation.

I have gone through the photographs (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) shared by you. It appears to be due to folliculitis. It does not appear to be like herpes. I suggest you apply a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin. In addition, I suggest you do the following:

1. Do not trim the hair too short.
2. Wear loose, cotton innerwear.
3. Avoid friction or irritation.

Kindly consult your doctor if the condition does not subside.

I hope this helps. Do get back if you have any further queries.

Thank you.
