Several weeks ago I had intercourse with a partner that I believed I could trust. We used a condom but it broke and we continued for several minutes. My partner never mentioned that she had herpes or led me to believe she did. Yet, several days to a week later, two red spots appeared near the tip of my penis. In the following week, more spots appeared on the shaft. From what I've gleaned from the internet, I am assuming that this is herpes, which is pretty devastating to me. I'm still pretty young (college age), and at this point I'm just looking for a second opinion! I've attached a picture.

      It's only slightly painful to the touch, otherwise I'm unbothered by it. I do have occasional itching around my scrotum and buttocks though I have not noticed any bumps in these areas. I have not noticed any flu-like symptoms but I may just be oblivious, I have a pretty high pain/intolerance threshold.

      Also it doesn't look much like a blister, there doesn't appear to be any white material inside the sores, but the sores are all small so I cant really tell.

      No it stays the same size once it appears. Did you see the picture I attached? If not herpes then what?

      No fluid seems to come out when I squeeze, but the spots are all quite small. Also, some of the older spots have slightly scabbed over, which I know is common with herpes.

      Hey sorry about the panic i personally don't think it's herpes the bumps I get usually come in a small group sorta like the ones often seen on the mouth.But of course the only way to know for sure is to see a doctor and have blood drawn.Good luck

    Herpes are painful and no bumps. Also it finishes in two weeks altogether.

    Non painful ones are

    Genital warts (HPV)also can show up as bumps on the penis. Sometimes these are irregular in shape or hard to see, and they're not painful. Syphilis also can give a guy painless ulcers on his penis. Finally, molluscum contagiosum is an infection that can be spread through sexual contact and give someone small, painless bumps

    I suspect it's mollascum

    How long u have them?

    The scab ones can u show?

    Did you shave once u saw these bumps?

      I shaved once I saw the bumps but that was after I noticed the two sores around the tip of my penis, above where I shave. I've had them for around 3 weeks now but most of the sores just showed up this past week. I can post a scabbed over one later

      Do not shave. In case of molluscum it can spread.

      3 weeks and no pain comfirms its not herpes.
