Blisters On Penis. Swab Test Negative. Taking Antibiotic. Reverting Back, Suggestion?
I had very small blisters on the shaft of my penis, The dr. said I had herpes he then took a swab but it came back negative. He prescribed med. and it went away. That was a month ago. Now it is back I went to a different Dr. this time and the Dr. didn't know what it is. But it don't seem to want to heal up I have been taking antibodies. For the last week.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Herpes can remain dormant for long periods of time before re appearing again.
The lesions may appear in crops and are usually associated with significant pain.
It is best to go for VDRL antibodies test after a while and know any raised titer values.
Genital warts caused by human papilloma virus also needs to be excluded in you.
Hope this helps.
