A member asked:
Have something that looks like a canker sore on my penis shaft. been putting neosporin on it, doesnt look infected , seems maybe it's healing slowly. anything else i should do or just continue as is and see a doctor if it doesnt get better soon?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you, however, what you described suggests herpes infection. It would be prudent to see your doctor. There are treatments to keep herpes infection in check. Wish you good health!

Your past sex history could be the answer. A STD could be the reason, so it's best get a check up now and practice safe sex now not later.
