The more you search on the web, the more stressed out you’ll get. Yes, balanitis is a possibility, it could also be something minor like a fungal infection. I’ve had a fungal infection, treated by either a lotion applied directly to the affected area. Whatever it is you have it can be treated by a dermatologist. As far as HSV1 goes, I have it as well, but I don’t get any outbreaks, most of the general population is HSV 1 positive, it’s not considered a stigma anymore. In addition, you may not have gotten HSV1 from a provider, maybe from a civilian. Tha’s how I got it. Anyway, see a doctor and stay safe.
