I have been practicing medicine and helping people with folliculitis and herpes for over two decades.

In this video, I will compare herpes to balanitis side by side:
✓ We will compare two conditions' symptoms. The symptom is what you feel
✓ We will look at the signs for both conditions. The sign is what you and other people can see. It is more objective than symptoms.
✓ And finally, we will go over the history of both, herpes and folliculitis rashes or how those rashes evolve over time.
