imageThe last week and a half has not been easy for me. After my last sexual encounter I started to notice a small peach- colored bump on the shaft end of my penis. At first, I thought it was from the hair-trimmer that I've used for several years now, because I also have a red bump on my chin. Days later the bump on my shaft started to get bigger, so I tried to pop it like a pimple but it ended up oozing clear liquid and created a open wound. A week has went by and the bump is now a black scab with what looks like small pimples around it. I'm hoping it is not herpes. the skin wasn't red, it doesnt look translucent, although it has been itchy and have been feeling some discomfort. But I am hoping this is something else like from using a bad clipper/razor. I've attached a pic. please let me know by your expert advice and personal experiences. thank you

    It resembles Contact Dermatitis BUT if new bumps freshly reappears please go and get swabbed or take an IGG blood test for both type 1 and 2 in three months. Well wishes to you.
