I had unprotected oral sex with a woman I barely know couple of weeks ago. I noticed 4 days ago that I have painful tiny white blisters at the base of the head of my penis and a red spot on the head. Is it herpes? These are painful.

    yes hun, its herpes looks more like herpes type 1 since it was given orally. you need to go to the doctor and show them and get tested so they can put you on medication right away before they get worse.

      That's what I was worried about 😦

      I read online that these tiny blister like bumps burst open and turn into a sore. If they don't do that, could it be something else? Like a bacterial infection of some sort?

    hmm go to urgent care tomorrow and have them swab the blisters. Kinda looks like warts but it's hard to tell from the picture. Just go to urgent care ASAP to get an accurate swab.

    I don't think it's herpes. It looks more like Pearly Penile Papules PPP. Though PPP is regarded as a normal anatomical variant that presents with no pain, itching, stinging nor otherwise. They also lie in a row at the base of the glans pens. But I can't say with certainty, your pain could be from vigorous sex activity.

    Anyways, visit the dermatologist for diagnosis and confirmation.

      Ok, thanks. Also, how likely is it to contract HIV through unprotected oral if the woman had sores in her mouth?

      depends wat the sores are from ?? hsv normally occurs on the lips she could have just had common mouth ulcers which would not cause any problems via sex theres no sign of herpes sores on your penis at the moment so u should wait for sores/blisters to appear before testing most doctors usually wont test if u dont have any symptoms
