Red marks on the tip of my penis

[Shawn9300]

So I went swimming in a friends hot tub Monday night I felt irritation on the tip of my penis idk if it’s from the netting rubbing constantly right at the tip or what and I’m worried it’s a genital herps which scares me a lot and usually I wear boxers under my swimming shorts to prevent any irritation and I forgot to put them underneath. They marks don’t hurt unless I touch them and sometimes cause a bit of discomfort when I pee because there’s a red mark like right on the tip. I just wanna know if it’s gentian herpes or not. Ps I’ve had one sexual partner my whole life which is my current girl friend now and from what I know I’ve been her only sexual partner. Any answer would be great! Thank you!

Sounds like it is related to that.  Try not to mess with it and see if it goes away!

You aren't going to get an std like herpes from the water.  Unless you had unprotected sex in the tub.  :>)  This is just on your penis?  You can get hot tub folliculitis which is not serious but also would not just be red marks on your penis.  You'd itch and have it elsewhere. Remember too, hot tubs are kept clean with chemicals and those can have an effect.  I'd say that is most likely the reason along with as you say, the netting on your shorts.  If it doesn't go away, get it looked at but would not really worry.

Thank you for the response and yeah it’s a few red marks on the tip where it was rubbing up against the netting for awhile
