sores on shaft

I have had numerous small bumps on the shaft of my penis. They do not hurt and are painless. I had unprotected sex a little over 6 weeks ago. Could this be herpes? Is there another reason for these bumps. any help would be great

Well, if they are new, you should get them checked out.  

I don't know what pics they resemble, but its clearly something you need to see a doctor for.

Are they new spots?

Bumps are impossible to narrow down, as so many things could be causing it.  They could be fordyce spots, hair follicles, genital warts, an allergic reaction, etc.

You need to see a doctor.  I doubt its herpes if there is no pain.
