Research suggests that when herpes zoster develops on the penis, the virus travels through the S2, S3, and S4 nerves.

These nerves are linked to the skin on the scrotum, the buttocks, the back of the legs, and the genital area.

A 2020 case report on penile shingles noted that initial symptoms may include burning and itching of the glans, followed by red blisters and sharp pain in the shaft of the penis.

Another report observed that shingles occurred with a lack of pain, but there was numbness of the penis, difficult or painful urination, inflamed bladder constipation, and frequent urination.
