Question 4

if my skin blisters from a bee sting, does it mean i'm allergic to bee stings?

Accepted Answer

No: Allergic reactions to bee stings are characterized by symptoms away from the site of the sting. If all of the reaction to a sting - blisters, swelling, redness - are all directly connected to the site of the sting, it's a large local reaction. If you get stung on the foot and get hives on your arms, or your throat swells or you start to wheeze - those are allergic reactions. See an allergist.

Accepted Answer

: The most common cause of penile blisters or sores is genital herpes, and clearing up in "a week or two" is typical. However, herpes isn't common in the pubic area and does not cause blisters to continue "constantly". See a doctor for in-person evaluation and testing. Also discuss with your partner:  evaluating your situation may require she have a herpes blood test, if no previous herpes history.
