In two minds of what to do thinking I have herpes. Need opinions!

Sexual health

Just needing a bit of advice to get my mindset where it should be and to stop dwelling on the could be.

About 1 month ago I noticed a single pimple at the base of my penis which I popped one night had some blood that came out which instantly turned into a red sore. This sore healed in about a week but turned into a ulcer like sore during the process which there was no pain associated with it. After healing there is a slight scar from where the sore was which I have attached a picture. I also had a similar pimple about 1.5 months before this one. I know the images don’t provide much info but I didnt take any pictures at the time which I regret. I had a STD check which was clear the week after the sore healed but the doctor dismissed the mark as a scar as I think he was looking forward to going home.

I am in two minds. I haven’t had any sexual encounters for just under 6 months now so after reading all the amazing info on this forum I know I can go get a blood test. Do I go get a blood test to ease my mind or should I not be worried until if another pimple pops up?

Do these scars resemble what a healed herpes sore looks like?

Sorry for the novel and thanks in advance.

Its doesn't sound like you had herpes,but you can always get tested to ease your mind and know for sure,just stay positive cause i think your fine

I'm hoping I'm fine as well! The physiological side of thinking you might of contracted herpes and how life changing it might be is the worse part

It is,but there so many people that have it,people can still live a normal life and do normal things, your life wont change alot,but don't worry to much
