Question 1

what can i do for a cold sore on penis?

Accepted Answer

Penile cold sores: This sounds like herpes. It could be either hsv type one or type two. We used to call these "oral" and 'genital' herpes respectively, but these titles were misleading.

One who has cold sores on the penis should have a blood test to see what their herpes antibody titers say and then to have a refillable prescription for Acyclovir or other herpes medication.

You need a good men's health expert.

Question 2

is it normal to get a cold sore on your penis?

Accepted Answer

Sores are never norm: Cold sores, the recurrent form of the herpes virus, comes in two forms. It used to be that type 1 was oral, type 2 was genital. Both following exposure  to the virus from an infected partner. Several prescription therapies are available from your doctor. All can control an outbreak, but there is no "cure." be warned that 95% of those infected will spread virus--even between outbreaks. Use safe sex.

Question 3

what happens if my boyfriend gets a cold sore on his penis?

Penis: You are at risk of herpes exposure if he has herpes and you are not a carrier.  You both should be tested if you are sexually active.

Question 4

the last time i had kissed a person was 16 days ago and today, i noticed was i think is a cold sore on my penis, i am still a virgin, and im sure of what to do l?

Accepted Answer

: Oral exposure (kissing) cannot result in any kind of problem on your penis. If being a virgin means you also have not received oral sex, then whatever is on your penis is not herpes or any other STD. Maybe just a pimple.

Question 5

can i still masturbate on my bed while having a cold sore? this is kind of stupid to say, but will i pass my cold sore to my penis if i masturbate while having a cold sore?

: wash your hands prior to masturbation. No you will not pass it to your penis if you are careful.

Question 9

herpes simplex one on head of my penis? not sure who gave it to me, but should i confront the one with cold sore?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: Herpes is a viral infection of the skin. It always comes the first time from another person. Herpes on your penis could come from your penis contacting the virus in a woman's vagina, or a persons mouth or anus, or even their hand. It doesn't pay to confront anyone about where your infection came from, and you should use condoms for sexual activity. Herpes can be treated easily with pills, or cream.

Question 10

i spit on my penis while masterbating,  later that evening i felt a cold sore coming on. will i get the infection on my penis now?

Accepted Answer

Little or no risk: Self-infection of a new area of the body with herpes (auto-inoculation) is rare. Once someone has had herpes for more than a few months, the immune system prevents new infections with the same HSV type. To be maximally safe, try to avoid similar events in the future. But probably no harm will come this time or if you make the same mistake again someday.
