May I know if this is herpes or not, I have gotten this after a oral sex with my partner first week of june and I don't feel itchy or whenever I try to pinch it, it is not blisters just a part of skin. Also, I just had my urinalysis and it turned out well. However, I got diagnosed with an STD before because I had a hard time peeing, so I took meds which easen and made my urinalysis clear.

    Hi there! This does look to me like it could be a herpes outbreak. However, it is important to remember the virus presents itself differently in everybody. I would recommend getting a blood test to be safe (followed by another one in 3 months) Herpes antibodies take time to produce in our blood meaning if you test too early, it could result in a false negative. I would schedule an appointment with your doctor just to be on the safe side. Hope this helped 😃
