Would this be a gHSV1 outbreak?

Good afternoon,

After about 4 months of trying to figure out what has been going on downstairs i have finally discovered this morning another anomoly. As shown in the picture linked, that is the pimple Im currently working with. Doesnt seem to hurt when i touch it but I have for the last few weeks / even months mild penile discomfort. Mainly at the base and head of my uretha. It doesnt hurt to pee but I have noticed that my urnine has been cloudy more times than not. After taking 2 herpes screens, I ended up being positive HSV1 IGG. In early september I had a very similar bump appear and had that bump swabbed, and my blood drawn and I came back HSV negative.

If I have oral HSV1 I have yet to show symptoms. I have remained sexually inactive since all this started to happen at the beginning of september. As a consequence I masterbate frequently (not sure if that would play a role)

So, does this look like a gHSV1 outbreak?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      In regards too how long this bump was here? I noticed it this morning. The other one took a good 1.5 - 2 weeks to go away.

      And the first bump quite a few months back was more on the tip of the penis head (next to uretha) rather than on the back side.

      Id say it was smaller in regards to how far out the pimple pertruded from the skin. But mostly the same size as the last one!

      when it went away, did it burst or just disappear? was it sensitive? does this one feel soft, hard or perhaps in the middle?

      trying to understand what i have as well, it shouldnt be herpes as ive been with one partner, but im worried if its late symptoms.

      my doc says its nothing to worry about, but doctors can always be wrong

      When I had the previous bump it ended up popping it because at the time i thought it was just a pimple and no big deal. SO i will keep you updated as to what happens to my bump.

      Definitely hard in the middle and soft around the edges if you want the get specific. Sensitive? Slightly, mainly when i apply pressure and rub my finger across the bump or try to squeeze the pimple! Nothing crazy though.

      I'm going to a urologist on the 20th and will be more than happy to share his input with you!

    I don't know what it is, but that's not herpes. You should get a blood test if you haven't already to figure out if it's something else

      I did! Twice in fact! The second time around was a positive IGG hsv1. Negative hsv2, negative hiv etc etc.

      Im going to a Urologist next friday because ive had a epydimial cycst on my right testicle.

      The only things i can think of if its not ghsv is either some wack side effects from the cycst. HPV. Or cancer.

      should also note my right thigh has broken out with some pimples but that may be from my jeans and the fact that ive got finals #noshower

      ok thanks, did your bumps ever just go away without bursting? did the bump(s) ever stay longer than 2 weeks without bursting or having fluid?

      was it hard or soft the bump(s).

      i prefer say bumps rather than blisters, because blisters sound like they're opened

      The thing is that for me they WERE blisters. They were open lesions that hurt when touched by water, pee or myself. The very first time it lasted for about 3 to 4 weeks and there was puss on some of them and my vagina
