Brief Answer: It is called as Phimosis. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have tight foreskin called as Phimosis. You had been taking medication for Herpes 2 infection and think this to be due to medications. I would like to state that this is not due to medicine but primarily due to herpes infection itself. If you are not able to retract foreskin over glans penis freely or if retraction is painful consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination to confirm the diagnosis .
