Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

I have small blisters on my penis. I first noticed them a week ago. I’ve been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 6 months and haven’t had this issue before. Now it’s happening again.

Answered by Dr. Anna Chacon

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

I understand your concern and appreciate your openness in discussing your symptoms. The presence of blisters on the penis could have various causes, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like herpes simplex virus, or less commonly, a yeast infection or dermatitis. It’s crucial not to draw conclusions without proper examination and testing. Even in a monogamous relationship, some STIs can remain dormant for a while before showing symptoms. Alternatively, the blisters may be caused by non-sexually transmitted conditions.

I recommend scheduling an appointment for a thorough examination and testing to determine the cause of your symptoms and create an effective treatment plan. In the meantime, avoid sexual activity to prevent potential transmission until we can confirm the cause. If the blisters become painful, ooze, or if you develop other symptoms like fever, seek immediate medical attention.

Thanks
