last week i shaved one night and had protected sex for a couple minutes with a random person i met

the next morning in less then 24hrs i had a pimple on the bottom shaft of my penis and a couple bumps on the other side of the base on my testicles i thought it was ingrown hair so i popped it and dug around a little bit to try and pull out the hair but was unsuccessful and caused a sore that i thought got infected 9 days passed and i still have some bumps and sores and to top it off i got a sore throat yesterday i went to a doctor and he said it looked like ingrown hair and the sore throat was common and he gave me doxycycline for the infected ingrown hair and sore throat the sores and bumps don't itch, tingle, and are not painful I'm so stressed please helpFile

    Doesn't especially look like herpes, but if this is 9 days after it makes it much harder to visually diagnose, and it's already hard enough to visually diagnose the first few days. Probably just an infection in the one site and irritation in the others from shaving. That would be my best guess -- especially if the other bumps didn't tingle, hurt, or become blisters that either ulcerated or oozed out any liquid.

      If it gets worse or you get new sores, perhaps come back with an updated pic and/or go see a doctor. But I don't see anything to be particularly concerned about at this point. Glad I could help in some way.

      when I woke up one of the red spots on my testicles looked like a pimple with a little white puss in it

      Probably just a normal pimple. If it was herpes it would probably be quite sensitive, tingly and sore -- moreso than most pimples. Post a pic of it if you're really worried; we might be able to give a more definitive answer.
