History:

Had unprotected sex with someone who i met that day last saturday night. Asked her if she had any stis and she said no and that i worry too much etc and that she gets tested often. Then monday afternoon i noticed there was a small red spot on my penis and didnt think anything of it and masturbated a few times that day. I still have the red spot on my penis and it is bothering me. its not very painful but more irritating and slightly burning. there is a tingling sensation down there and some tingling when i pee as well but nothing excrutiating. I dont have any of the other symptoms like fever, swollen nodes etc and the red spot was never fluid filled or anything. Im hoping my penis is just irritated from the masturbation but idk it hasnt been like this ever it seems. No itchiness or anything either. oh and i went and got swabbed today but there was nothing to swab really and had urine and bloods done but idk what to do in the meantime. im so upset and have no one to talk to.

    I can't see anything from the photo. If you want to share another image up close to the bump I can give you my opinion. If it appears as an ulcer and it happened after a sexual encounter than it is likely it could be genital herpes. dont stress out, everything will be okay. PM me if you need to talk.
