Can Folliculitis Indicate A Herpes Infection?
Hello, last week I was told I had folliculitis and I was given hydrocortisone.. most all cleared up except one spot so I went back to the doctor and he said not to worry just watch it. I am 180 lbs and 5'11 I have never symptoms so much like folliculitis and I have been dating the same girl for 2 years. Today I have a fever of over one hundred and there are no spots on my penis. Should I be concerned that the folliculitis is herpes because of the onset of illness? There are no painful sores just a fever. Is it coincidental?
