Is this herpes? Pictures included
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had unprotected oral sex with someone once. About a month after this act I noticed my penis was a little sore and it had a small red dot on it. It can be noted that I was frequently masturbating during this time and could have caused this irritation myself.
The slight discomfort didn't last long, maybe 1-2 days, but this red spot seemed to stay there for about 5 days. There were only this one spot and no other spots. It did not fill with liquid nor did it scab over. Since that time which was one month ago I have not had anymore discomfort or recurring spots. I know I should have gone to the doctors to get it swabbed, but I didn't.
All that being said, I took a picture of when the spot was visible. Does this look like a form of herpes? I have had a different website tell me that they do not think so and that I am free from worry. Yet, here I am asking for a second opinion.

You cant diagnose herpes visually. They can look very different or take on the appearance of something else.
I would recommend having a blood test done to see if you have HSV1 or HSV2.
or have a swab done within the first two days of the spot appearing.

why did you even had unprotected sex , you should have used condoms and even condoms can't fully protect from getting STD or HPV because you can get it from skin to skin
