Is this Genital Herpes or something else? PLEASE HELP!
Hello all. Before I start I'd like to say I am an 18 year old male. I've only had sex with 1 woman before and I have used a condom, we were both virgins. However we have gave each other oral sex without the use of a condom.
A few days ago I started feeling this pain on my shaft skin (I am uncircumcised). It was nothing too bad so I just left it alone. Today after I was done showering I spotted this red / pink patch on my shaft skin along with tiny bumps on it. I feel pain whenever I touch it, but nothing too bad. I never had something like this before so I do not know how to react. I've researched online and found many infections / diseases that look like it so I am really not sure what it is named. I really don't think it is an STD. Something that's been on my mind is that three days ago I used a public toilet at my college, and my penis touched a spot on the toilet seat which had a little pee on it (not mine) and can easily be touched by anyone who is sitting on the edge of the toilet seat. Maybe that has something to do with it? Hopefully it will go away by itself in a week. If it doesn't I might have to visit a doctor so he can look at it although I highly don't like that.
I have included a picture of the rash:

Here is another picture two days later: (It hurts a little more now, and it changed into a yellow/browner color.

this would've been a recurrence of hsv1 genitally then if it was from that encounter and it would've most likely been just a single lesion.
odds are this isn't std related at all. be seen and get accurate answers as to what is causing your symptoms so you can treat it.

About 9 months ago. However this is the first time anything of this sort happens.
we don't look at pictures here. why not is explained in our read before posting post.
you absolutely did not get herpes from a toilet seat.
bottom line is you need to be seen and get this looked at.
how long ago did you have unprotected oral?

although considering youve only had sex once with a condom, maybe it isnt. i doubt u cant get it from the toilet seat.
