Patient's question:
I recently don't know why I have been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Is it possible that the rash on my glans could be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a herpes outbreak on the glans penis is a type of genital herpes, which is a viral infectious disease. Genital herpes is primarily caused by the herpes simplex virus and is highly contagious. The condition you described may be caused by candidal balanitis. Rinse the glans penis and foreskin with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution to remove dirt. Apply antifungal creams, such as clotrimazole cream or miconazole cream. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection.
