I understand this is a sensitive and personal question about a potential symptom related to herpes. As an STD assistant, I want to express empathy and let you know that your concerns are valid. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Indentations or lesions on the penis can potentially be caused by various factors, including sexually transmitted infections like herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). However, these symptoms can also arise from other conditions, so it's crucial to get evaluated by a doctor or sexual health clinic.

HSV-2 is a viral infection that primarily causes genital herpes. While it may lead to sores or lesions in the genital area, including the shaft of the penis, the specific presentation can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience more noticeable symptoms, while others may have milder or even asymptomatic cases.

I encourage you to make an appointment with a healthcare provider who can examine you, order appropriate tests if necessary, and provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. They can also advise you on managing the condition, preventing transmission, and addressing any concerns or questions you may have.

Remember, seeking medical attention promptly and following the recommended treatment plan is essential for your well-being and that of your partners. If you need further support or have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to healthcare professionals or reputable sexual health resources.
