Do I have Herpes?

I have a cluster of pimples on my penis that aren’t itchy and do not contain puss. Is it possible it’s something other than herpes? These appeared right after sex with a latex condom. http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/Anonymous_1212/library/Mobile%20Uploads . I have uploaded two pics so I can get more concrete feedback.

When you say "right after" sex, how long is that - a few hours, a few days?

How long have you had them?

Herpes sores wouldn't appear for 2 days, at a minimum, and the chances of you getting herpes with a condom are very low.

You should let a doctor see it, though. It could be folliculitis, an allergic reaction to something, dermatitis, or a list of other things.

I’ve had them since yesterday and had sex with a latex condom the day before that. From the pictures, do they appear as herpes?
They could be, but if it is, it's not from the most recent encounter. You used a condom and they appeared too quickly to be herpes.

How are they now? Have you seen a doctor?
