What Causes Recurring Blisters On Penis?

Hi there, I have reoccurring blisters on my penis. They come back every second month for the past year. They start of small however they quickly swell and become painful, causing my glands to swell as well. They often come from lack of sleep i think or stress. Do you know what this could be?

Hi,

Noted your short history of recurring blisters on penis on stress or loss of sleep, they swell quickly and become painful, causing glands/glans to swell.
Painful blisters on penis can be due to one of the following conditions:
Balanoposthitis.
Herpes as sexually transmitted disease.
Any other specific infections.
I would advise you the following:
First of all whenever you get the blisters photograph these serially for your Doctors to get the exact picture as visual impression is very important in such cases.
Consult a Dermatologist, give proper history, get the investigations done as advised.
And get treated as per the cause found.
Ask for which precautions to be taken like using condoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
