Patient: My son is being seen by a doctor for infection in his foreskin and has been referred for a circumcision. My partner and I both have genital herpes and we have noticed small lumps on my son s penis under the foreskin. We are terrified that he has contracted the disease..how is it best to tell? Doctor: Hello,  Unfortunately, it is possible that the contracts the disease through vaginal delivery.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
