laying down some backround for this i'm a 21 year old man haven't had sex in a year but i'm unfortunatly addicted to masturbation i have a sore on my penis that appeared about 3 or 4 months ago that i think started out as my skin being broken open from being dry and not healing properly i did some reasearch on here and it seems that if it were herpes it would have happened well before it did but i'm not sure i'm just looking for some advice before i make an appointment to see a doctor also what kind of doctor would i go see about it?

Herpes sores do not last 3-4 months. Go see your Dr and have this checked out, or lay of the masturbating and see if it heals on its own.
