Might have herpes

Posted , 5 users are following.

so i had protect sex about a week ago, and about three days later i felt itchy at the base of my shaft.

about 4 days later i felt super tired.

then about two days ago i noticed these little bumb like things. theyre not painful at all, they dont itch, i have no pain when peeing, but to me they kind of look like a mild case.

take a look and tell me what you think

    it might be herpes but it's really hard to tell. It might just be irritation from the condom and the shaving. If the round pinkish bumps break open try to get them swabbed by a doctor.

    The first picture looks a little like blistered skin, the other two it is kind of hard to tell to be honest, the person you slept with are they known to you at all?

      OOps - I would recommend you go see your Dr in that case anyway regardless for you own piece of mind 😃

      do you think i should wait until the recommended 3 months for a blood test or can they swab the bump? honestly would rather not wait that long.
