Is this genital herpes?
Hi. Thanks in advance for help. Around Feb. I had unprotected rough sex with an old friend of mine. About 2 days after I noticed some cysts around the front of my foreskin (im circumcised) They did not blister or anything, they just kinda grew big like they were irritated and then went away. No pain except when they got to the biggest they would grow. Ive had similar cysts randomly on my penis shaft (not foreskin) before when I was really young and i always suspected it was from the use of condoms rubbing against my sensitive skin. About a month later I got the flu. But these were already about a week away from being gone. The bumps finally went all the way down and kinda left a white mark/scar where 2 or 3 of the cysts were. Its gotten really hot from summer and I tried to pick at/squezee the white spots/scars the bumps left behind because it seemed like the spots werent going away after 3-4 months. after messing with them, the next morning or so they are back, and more are with it. They kind of connect in a chain always. They dont itch/hurt/burn. They got big again, but this time kind of went into small water blisters for like a day. The next day I was walking around and noticed they popped themselves...with no stains of fluid of smelly fluid. They still did not even hurt during this time the only thing that hurt mightve been the irritation from rubbing against clothing. Now they went back down but i still kinda have raised pinkish bumps and they are taking forever to retreat back into the skin. Im pretty sure i have sebaceous prominence on my penis shaft and balls. I have pics also. One of the blisters and one a week or 2 after. The only scabbing I get from these is when they decided to retreat back into the skin and it seems like my skin broke from being stretched. minor scabbing
yes you can have symptoms of herpes 2 days post encounter but they won't linger like this.
most people never get tested for herpes, your partner will need to see if herpes was part of her testing she had done last.
go, be seen and get these looked at. It's already been too long to have let them go.
we don't look at pictures here, why not is explained in our read before posting post on the forum.

Sorry one last question....Can I get a swab test of the "bumps"? Even though they arent open sores at the moment? Just kinda a hard piece of skin/raised lesion.
No. I have not got tested yet. The girl I was with swears up and down she is clean. No, I have never been tested before either.
When herpes clear up is there any type of mark or scar? These bumps are harder as they retreat back into the skin.
Can full bumps show up 2 days after intercourse? I noticed the bumps were almost full size 2 days after.
Can I post a picture to help with what im describing?
