does it have to be painful

By newguy Wednesday, November 14, 2007
I am not sure yet if I have herpes.  I have a sore on my penis just at the base but i shave and know the doctor thinks it could be Impetigo.  His reason is that the sore is not painful.   I am having tests done but hate the wait.  I have a sore for the first time about the size of a dime that is not painful at all.  Bit of an itch.  I can apply presure and rub it will very minimal pain.   Is herpes sores always painful.  I am hoping I just cut my self shaving down there and got impetigo.   My glands were swollen for a few days but the doctor said that my glands by my penis could have gotten swollen from an impetigo infection to

Thanks so much for your post.  Of course you should work with a doctor on treatment for whatever your illness or condition is. 

 

In the meantime you might read through a few sareas of our site to see if it helps you to get a better understanding of your possible disease. You should read The Basics of Genital Herpes and go to the Check a Sympton area of our site.

 

Please note that I am not a medical professional or trained medically.  I am just able to find some site sources that could help you.

 

All the best, smm
