Blisters on the foreskin may be a sign of genital herpes. Genital herpes is typically caused by an infection of the genital area with the herpes virus. It is usually contagious and can cause symptoms such as red rashes, red patches, itching, ulceration, and erosion in the affected area. Due to its contagious nature, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly after onset of the condition.
