So i've had unprotected sex a few times, but none of my partners so far this year have been diagnosed with herpes i have confirmed this with them. However the other day and noticed these bumps on my penis shaft. The day prior I did however use a scented hand soap that i believe could have been the cause possibly a rash? i plan to see a doctor tomorrow but i would like to know for my own knowledge before going in

    It does look rash-like and they appear to contain pus, if I'm not mistaken, not clear fluid. Would you say they are more like pimples than small blisters? In any case, it is not typical looking of herpes, although having said that, herpes can come in many guises. Best thing is to see a doctor and get it swabbed, but at least it does not resemble a classic case, which increases the odds that it's something else. Use condoms next time!

      Here is a picture from today. They seem to sort of be going away but not really. Also there was hair strands sticking out of a few. is it possible these are hairbumps in a flux or jock itch?

      Some of it looks like possible folliculitis (infected hair follicles), but that is usually itchy. Same goes for jock itch. It may thus be something else. Have you been to a doctor yet? That's the best thing to do, I'm afraid.
