Does this look like genital herpes?

I haven't shaved my public hair in a while, and so it's kinda long and irritating my penis shaft, but after having sex, I'm feeling quite itchy. I've had this sensation before but it usually disappears after a couple of days.

I have a doctor's appointment next week, but for those with experience, does this look like genital herpes?

    So.. My first outbreak started with an itch.. After a few days if itching and thinking I had a yeast infection it started to burn to pee and gradually got worse. When I checked myself out down there I noticed 2-3 little open sores. From that moment to being in the midst of a full blown outbreak it was less than 12 hours! I developed so many painful blisters in such a short amount of time but before the blisters I was just red and itchy. So my advice to you would be to watch very closely examine yourself with a mirror and if the itching persists definitely don't hesitate going to the doctor to get tests done! There's a couple stds that start with an itch just pay close attention. Good luck!

      Thanks for this! Will definitely get through with the doctor's appointment. It's just the anxiety that makes me want to get an initial opinion.

      I'm just hoping that this is some balanitis due to irritation from from my pubic hair, since this also seems to happen when I haven't trimmed in a while. Still kinda worrying.

    That looks more like it's been burnt. More like a burn you know possibly your young lady friend has a very strong flora which is bacteria or maybe even something else whatever it is it will be inside your penis also. Once you get that check to know what the problem is yeah that's more like a burn. Sometimes people don't mix well. Course you never said how long yall were making love either

      So that started itching first? How could it be your hair when its way away from the bottom of your penis it would be her hair wouldn't it? I think you'd know if it was herpes give you blisters all over the place

    Looks like you did it a lot or if you didn't I would say its a good chance it is. Very irritated on the rim the first shot I would say yes. Any definitely don't mix well with her.
