STD testing: Cold sore on the penis could indicate Herpes or Syphilis. Schedule a visit with your obgyn and testing can be done for these two infections as well as other STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. You can schedule a virtual visit with a Healthtap doctor in your state and these tests can be ordered directly from Healthtap .
