    It doesn't look like herpes to me but if they reappear please go and get them swabbed or take a IGG blood test at the 3 months mark.

      i got igg blood test at 11 week mark. negative. should i go in and get swabbed?

      I would go in and get them swabbed before they heal, that testing is the most accurate. I was blood tested first as well and got a false negative because I tested too soon.

    Generally HSV won't breakout or appear in hair bearing areas. Also can't tell from your pic but is that the scortum? Again ob's in that area are very rare and primary ob's almost never happen there without an ob on the penis at the same time. It's to do with the scortum having thick skin.
