Is it herpes?

Hi,

I had a unprotected sex 17 days ago and from last 3 to 5 days, I can see a group of small bumps on my penis mostly towards base. They are only visible when I strech or pull the skin of my penis.  They are not pain full or fluid filled and I dont even notice it unless I pay attention to them but I am sure they were not there before.   I do feel very little burn and feeling of small insect walking on the skin of my penis. Can it be herpes by anychance? please advise? what are these bumps for/

Thanks!

If you dont want to see a doctor then explain this to your local pharmisist and they may suggest an OTC fungal cream.

Thanks for the quick reply, I am sure they were not there before, and if its fungal related than do you know any remedy for that, Most of the time irritation is unnoticeable but yes its there and its scaring me.

If they area skin irritation it may be fungal related or they might have been there all along and your just noticing them now out of anxiety but they would not seem herpes related at all.
