Chicken Pox on penis: Hi if you were in my office we could have a very open and frank discussion. Chicken pox can be very irritating anywhere it is found. But, on the penis is especially painful or irritating. I do have one concern and that is if this is herpes and not chicken pox. Herpes is a virus that is part of the chicken pox family. I am glad to hear that you are on acyclovir. This is the right medicine.

Chickenpox: If you have chickenpox would anticipate blisters in far more areas than the penis.
