Could this be herpes? Help needed, please!

Posted , 3 users are following.

hello so I had unprotected sex for the first time last night with a girl Ive been with for about 3 months now and says I'm her only partner and says she is clean, she is also my only partner. This morning (the morning after) I woke up with this red mark on the side of my penis. Not sure if it could be due to the the friction or if it could be something like herpes? Nothing itches or any discomfort when I pee as of yet. Any thoughts would be very appreciated.

    Don't see anything that I'd be concerned about. Could be a small heat rash or friction burn. Doesn't look anything like herpes, but keep an eye on it. If it changes/gets worse, then post here again if you want, and make an appointment to see a doctor.

      Other than the change of it fading away there has been no changes. I appreciate the comment.
