Hey guys is this Herpes???

Posted , 4 users are following.

Had unprotected sex last Monday, it was pretty rough and not super lubricated. The next day i saw this small sore on my foreskin, it's not itchy or painful, a little tingly to touch when I clean up under the shower. Have no other symptoms. imageimageimageimageimageimage

    TBH it looks like the HSV 1 sores I had after they'd burst - the first sign is a small spot or swelling, and then they burst to leave this sort of thing. If there was no spot there before I'd assume it was a friction burn. Watch it and see if any more develop - the other thing is I believe you'd usually get more than one if it was HSV

      I can definitely confirm, that there was no spot or swelling. Its been 6 days so far, and i also haven't seen any others pop up. It seems to be shrinking in size, nonetheless i will be going for a swab test today - fingers crossed.
