Specializes in General Practice

Sore on penis: Without seeing the sore here are common reasons: herpes, syphilis, staph infections, and warts. Friction can scrape the skin causing bacterial infection. Then a common rash is caused by yeast. All sexually active humans should have the herpes blood test!
