Accepted Answer

Hopefully : Hopefully you have a diagnosis and are under treatment. In this situation there is nothing you can do prevent the mores sores or blisters from appearing. However, if you know the signs of a yeast infection and think you have one, go ahead and treat with an over the counter yeast infection medication, and see your doctor if you have no improvement.
Take care.

Question 7

is it likely to catch herpes if a man uses his fingers in vagina then tell afterwards he has herpes. he had no sores or blisters at the time?

Accepted Answer

Herpes transmission: If your partner has touched his penis, or you have contact with his penis, viruses like herpes can be transmitted. The herpes virus can be present prior to ulcers (sores) appearing, so although it is not "likely" , it is possible to transmit herpes virus, since it is very communicable.

Question 8

chances of one having herpes without any blisters or sores but balanitis on foreskin and penis head?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't think: the chances are high...those ulcerated lesions are very commonly present in herpes. Balanitis is swelling and inflammation of the foreskin. It's main cause is suboptimal hygiene in the uncircumcised. Symptoms will usually resolve when you rinse (unscented) soap completely off the penis. Low dose OTC topical steroid or anti fungal cream may help. Rarely are other antibiotics needed. USE CONDOMS!

Accepted Answer

Herpes simplex: Yes. Lesions are similar whether on the skin or on mucous membranes.
