I'm noticing some redness on the forehead of my penis; it kind of looks like ringworm. It doesn't hurt or itch, but it's a round red spot. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

I've been a bit concerned since I woke up with some lesions near my lip after going on a trip last weekend where I played in the mud and a dirty river. They don't hurt or itch, and I don't have a fever or anything. Someone mentioned it could be Herpes Labialis, and I've been using Herpex cream which seems to have helped as the lesions are almost gone after 7 days. I'm just wondering if this really sounds like it was Herpes or if there's a chance it could be something else?

Yes that could be Herpes infection,and you have used the right cream,visit Dermatologist for further management

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Minoz OD 100 for quite a while to deal with my acne breakouts. It seems to help, but now I'm considering stopping it. Is it okay to do that, or should I be cautious about anything?

Continue same treatment.
