I have certainly seen men with an outbreak on the head of the penis. What I have not seen is a primary infection with only lesions on the head of the penis. Honestly, the rashes that you describe sound like balanitis which is normally not caused by herpes. And the time these rashes last is more consistent with candida balanitis than with herpes. It is not correct that most outbreaks in men occur on the glans, most occur on the shaft of the penis.

I understand that it is expensive to be tested where you are, but don’t you think it would be good to know if you really have herpes before living as though you do?

Our clinic facilitates obtaining western blots if you decide to clarify your situation.
If not, best to you. I hope at some point you can get an accurate diagnosis.

We are now finished with the initial question and two follow up questions. If you need more information, please renew your subscription.
