Recently had sexual intercourse with condom on and after 2 days there are red spots on penis head that aren't painful at all and was wondering if its herpes simplex virus?

    Looks very similar to what im going thru. And im worried about the exact same thing. But mine only looks similar after sex or when i get an erection. It aggravates it somehow. Idk...lets hope its not herpes

    If a condom was always used and never broke, etc., yet you still caught herpes, you'd expect lesions around the base, not the head. First outbreak lesions on the head suggest unprotected sex. So, either your condom usage wasn't 100% or it's likely something else. See a doctor and get it swabbed asap if you're concerned and need answers.
