Is this herpes? Pictures included

Sexual health
1

I had unprotected oral sex with someone once. About a month after this act I noticed my penis was a little sore and it had a small red dot on it. It can be noted that I was frequently masturbating during this time and could have caused this irritation myself.

The slight discomfort didn’t last long, maybe 1-2 days, but this red spot seemed to stay there for about 5 days. There were only this one spot and no other spots. It did not fill with liquid nor did it scab over. Since that time which was one month ago I have not had anymore discomfort or recurring spots. I know I should have gone to the doctors to get it swabbed, but I didn’t.

All that being said, I took a picture of when the spot was visible. Does this look like a form of herpes? I have had a different website tell me that they do not think so and that I am free from worry. Yet, here I am asking for a second opinion.

Thank you

You cant diagnose herpes visually. They can look very different or take on the appearance of something else.

I would recommend having a blood test done to see if you have HSV1 or HSV2.

or have a swab done within the first two days of the spot appearing.

did u get tested , my partner has similar

why did you even had unprotected sex , you should have used condoms and even condoms can’t fully protect from getting STD or HPV because you can get it from skin to skin

you just contradicted your first statement.
