Worried, I hope I am just paranoid

I recently got out of a relationship where my ex told me that she was free of STDs (I am hoping this was true). I plan on going to the doctor to get a STD check. 

I feel like I have had these bumps on my shaft, but I am not certain. I am hoping that I am just being paranoid. Do these bumps look like herpes or any other STDs?

    Too small to tell, but a test could tell you. Swab with lesions, or the IgG antibody test (after 3 months) without any lesions to swab.

    I am getting tested around the 3 month mark. The bumps have looked like that since the 2-3 mark when I started checking.

    Weird, Im in the same boat, almost exactly same time frame... She apparently has no signs. And now I'm seeing this.

      Course it started out looking like a irritated pimple, but had a hard "nodule" or something that wouldnt pop. Never really resembled a blister though. I have multiple now, but that was the first, not sure if it can be seen. The rest i havent tried messing with, almost scared to get checked out -sigh- ill probably do it anyways
