Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed some small pimples on my husband's private area, and they are on the corona. I wonder what it means if there are pimples on the corona?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of genital herpes, genital herpes is caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus, with an incubation period of 2-7 days. It commonly occurs in the foreskin, glans, or coronal sulcus in men, and occasionally on the urethra. Symptoms include redness, itching, and clusters of small blisters with thin walls. When the blisters burst, they form erosions and small pustules with a burning sensation. In some cases, they may develop into ulcers. It is recommended that you visit a formal urological hospital for relevant examinations.
