herpes blister size?

do genital herpes blisters change size between a flaccid and erect penis? I have a few bumps at the base of my penis that run in kind of a row... not really visible when flaccid but become so when erect... thoughts?

they don't appear to be caused by anything,.. clothing, towel, etc... they are right at the base and run towards the direction of shaft... for about an inch or so.. a little jagged... it appears they are above a vein or whatever... they don't hurt or anything... ideas?

No real idea, do not sound herpetic though, they are usually flatter potentially with little bumps within. If all you can see is a bump, then less likely herpes.

Do you think it could be in a line due to tight jeans? towel wipe etc.?

thank you for the response Fleetwood... I know you can't diagnose but what do you make of my "bumps"? there are about 9 or so and they seem to be running along a vein or something... not really easy to see when flaccid but when erect they are noticeable...

No they dont change in size, have to admit I avoid erections if I have a lesion down there, the stretching is a bit annoying!
