It depends. Genital herpes can lie dormant for a long time. Or it can cause an immediate problem. Or you may have never have noticed the blisters before. Go get screened for herpes, both HSV-1 and HSV-2.\n\nHSV-2 is NOT just below the belt. HSV-1 Is NOT just above the belt. That is a very common mistake that people make. A significant number of new cases of genital herpes are caused by the HSV-1 virus (which most people contract during childhood) and is then spread genitally through oral sex. The virus does NOT know NOR CARE which nerve ganglia cluster it is infecting.\n\n"The scary part is that most people with genital herpes don't know they have it, and are unaware they may be spreading it to others, says Warren. Many have no symptoms or mistake their symptoms for something else, such as jock itch, insect bites, hemorrhoids, yeast infections, razor burn, or allergies to laundry detergent.\n\nGenital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease (STD), is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV is in the same family of viruses that causes chickenpox, shingles and mononucleosis. There are two types of HSV: HSV-1, which infects 80 percent of the U.S. population, usually appears on the lips in cold sores; HSV-2 is usually found in the genital area. However, if a person with HSV-1 oral herpes (cold sores) performs oral sex, it is possible for the partner to get HSV-1 genital herpes. And HSV-2 can infect the mouth through oral sex.\n\nHSV can cause sores, or lesions, to appear in and around the vaginal area and within the cervix in women, and on the penis and scrotum in men. Both males and females may also get lesions in the urinary tract, around the anal opening, on the buttocks or thighs, and sometimes on other parts of the body."

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) (also known as Cold Sore, Night Fever, or Fever Blister) is a virus that manifests itself in two common viral infections, each marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth or lips) or on the genitals. The disease is contagious, particularly during an outbreak, and is incurable with present technology. An infection on the lips is commonly known as a "cold sore" or "fever blister," though this should not be confused with a canker sore, which appears inside the mouth and is not caused by the herpes simplex virus.

Some guys have bumps called "pearly penile papules" on their penises, which are normal growths that appear around the base of hair follicles. Also, another fairly common condition is infection of the sebaceous glands, or simply put, pimple-like growths. These infections respond to antibiotics. Both conditions are not unusual, but it is best to be evaluated by a clinician to determine a diagnosis and treatment, if any is necessary.\n\nRemember, some sexually transmitted infections, like herpes and genital warts, can be transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact, even if the person has never had intercourse.

First does your boyfriend know that you have genital herpes? Just because he wore a condom doesn't mean that he didn't catch herpes Whether you have symptoms or not, you can still transmit the infection. If you are sexually active, condoms can help reduce, but do not eliminate, the risk of spreading HSV.\n\nGenital herpes (also called HSV infection) is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that may cause skin blisters and sores in the genital area, but often causes no visible symptoms. It is possible to get genital herpes through sexual contact with an infected person even if he or she has no symptoms. \n\nI hope this helps...Be careful sweety

It could be normal if it's only on the base and underside of your penis. If it looks like a pimple, you should be okay. If it looks like a big wart (more than 4mm in diameter), you should see a doctor.

Sorry, pal.  Herpes is a virus and its yours for life.  Fortunately it spends part of its time sleeping.  But you never know when it's going to wake up.

two things come to mind the first one is possible but less likely - it could be a tumor that is oozing.  The second is more likely I think you may have some sort of STD but who knows.  Go to your doctor and find out what it is and get it treated and dont have sex with anyone.  Oh i suppose it could just be a zit too depending on how big it is but I doubt it.

I am not familiar with a blister forming on a scab.  Usually the scab forms on a blster.  If you are experiencing a blister over your scab, please get this treated ASAP.  It could,  (note the word could) be a skin infection that needs treated or it can spread.  \n\nIf you don't have enough money to see a doctor, then show your pharmacist the problem and there may be a medication you can use to cure it.  In the meantime, I would suggest you put hydrogen peroxide over the area to clean it.\n\nHappy Holidays.

If you're not a virgin it could be syphilis, herpes, or HPV, gonorrhea or chlamydia.  If it looks like a pimple, it most likely is a folliculitis - this is benign, non-infectious, and self resolving.  If you think you could have an STD I recommend seeing a Dr.  All STD's are treatable to some extent, and without treatment some may have dire consequences - also, if you're under 18 (or over), your Dr is not legally permitted to discuss sexual health matters with your parent without your permission.
