Herpes or?

Ok, a week ago I had unprotected sex with someone who I've been with for a bit. She's very clean. But I've been sexually active before her. We used lube for the sex. A day or two later a red bump about 3mm in size showed up on the shaft. Few days later I noticed two slightly white bumps with hairs in them. Yesterday I plucked the hairs out. Some white puss came out. Only a little. Now today the two dots are just slightly crusty like dead skin. They do not hurt or itch. The red bump is still there.

No pain during urination or any other forms of pain. But the whole idea of herpes scares me. Went through it a month ago. Doctor tested for chlamydia and go ores and said what I had was Molloscum in one spot. Gone now.

Wondering if anyone has an idea? Can a herpes sore produce what looks like inflamed hair follicles? It doesn't look like any form of blister either and it's been there for 5 days now. I do have some hair on my shaft.

Hmm... I think she was kind of clear on it.  Be seen for a proper work up.  There is no use in us guessing based off what you post if it is.

Thank you grace. I thought I'd post a quick follow up. It's been a full week since the mark came up.

After pulling the hairs from the side by side white spots. The two white spits got bigger to about 2-3 mm each. Whitish yellowish like big whitehead pimples. Only slightly tender like a pimple.

One has popped. The other is still there. It's the bigger one. Should I squeeze? Leave it be? Does this sound like herpe sore to you? It's been like this for a week and has yet to ulcer. When I took the hairs out a couple of days ago it was a thick white puss. Not watery. But since one has "popped" without me know, I have no idea if it was ***** or watery.

How long does a blister take to turn to an ulcer?

you need to go and be seen and get a proper exam done.  odds are this isn't herpes but a proper exam will tell you what is going on.
