Hey Jonas
It your penis all ways that red.?
Have you changed your soap or laundry detergent. It looks like a split in the skin or have you have anyone give you oral sex that had a cold sore. That is what it looks like more then regular herpes
Or it just could be from masturbation if you do it. Try to hold off for a while an give it a rest
If it does not go away go to the doctor. Wash with warm water and pat try do not rub.....Ken

Thank you for your reply Kenneth! Someone gave me oral, but did not have any visible sores.. I have had irritation for a while, but believe it is that red since I stretched it while taking a picture.. I need to follow this and see where it goes.

I read a article that said that if you have oral sex and even if they do not have any sores on there mouth they still carry the virus.
Did a little looking. It said that it can look like a razor burn and red spots.
You are going to have to go to a Urologist to get a Anti Herpe cream if you can get it.
But all the test game back negative. So that may not be it.
I know I use Cortizone 10 for my circumcision line. It itches some time worse when I scratch it.
It also said that it can help if you drink more water take cool or warm baths and pat dry don't rub Also lose cotton underwear.
Good luck hope this helps.......Ken

Thanks for good tips Ken.
These blister(s)/wound are stinging when washed and I can feel pain when touched. Hopefully, will stay this mild in future as well. I will follow how these blisters develop within the next few days. Otherwise I am feeling just normal. Annoying thing, but could be worse..

That is not a good place to get rash and blister. Just be careful when you wash and if I were you no sex of any kind for at least 2 weeks.
Get it healed and if it is still wont go away get your butt to a doctor. Not he last one
Take it easy.....Ken

After reading about HSV looks pretty much like that. Don't know what else it could be.
I made a big mistake four months ago and had unprotected oral sex with a sex worker. Seems that I have now permanent reminder of that. 😕 Hopefully this is my first outbreak and this won't be bothering me every month.
Another thing is that I have to start serious talks with my girlfriend that I have let her down. I am very glad that she is not having any symptoms yet. However, one mistake can change your direction of life... very sad about this. Hopefully, you guys stay healthy!

Hello
Get the blister swabed, just in any case to be sure.

I was able to swipe the white area and then it was like this again. Quite confident this is herpes.
I had STD test for basically everything, but herpes before. However, I am abroad and need to pay every visit from my own wallet and previous test were already over 300 dollars. Therefore, I am not so happy to go there, since it would cost another 60+60 dollars + the test/swipe.
Anyo

I have herpes and this is definitely herpes. i would go get swabbed so they can give u a prescription for valtrex which helps alliviate the symptoms.
most people who have it never get a breakout so they wouldnt know and they dont test for herpes in an std screen because it isnt considered serious as it doesnt harm you really. its a skim infection. after the First outbreak it gets easier

Did the blisters feel soft or firm?
I'm afraid too 😦. It must of been dormant for me and i think i have one single.
Did it start off smaller? how long did it take to get like that? these comments are never found on this thread...

Thank you mil and elaine for your replies. The first picture shows how it started, I felt slight pain in the morning. I cannot say if its firm or soft, but it is definitely painful when touched. I didn't notice any tingling the night before. However, I have had irritation for a while and I used anti-fungal cream before the blisters appeared, so don't know if that triggered this outbreak.
I would guess that this is caused by HSV1, but I will follow the progression. Now it is 48 hours and it seems to be getting better, so I can consider my self lucky to have such mild symptoms.

Thanks for the reply! so from what i understand they were bubbles at first and then they burst. and while in bubble state, they hurt when touched? do u notice any bumps on the actual head (mushroom part)? im wondering if it looks different from the ones on thinner layers of skin. (thin layers like before the mushroom head part).
and stay strong! i know people in person who still talk about enjoying there sex lives! obviously at first they were down, but it gets better!

That's the only spot I have anything on. You are able to see the progress from the pictures. I cannot say if there was any bubbles really.
And thanks! I'll e okay with this. Could be worse!

glad to hear you'll be fine:).
when u meant bubbles, i meant small bumps lumps. but if u say they were tender from when it first appeared or when u first noticed, i think i understand .
trying to understand the actual first visual signs

Yup, it was sensitive/painful from the beginning. However, every day getting better. 😃 Now I can touch it and wash it without stinging pain.
