Okay, so I went doctors and there was no straight answer. But he said it was NOT herpes and nothing serious and to continue using Canesten as they are fading. He also said it can take about 1 week to notice any results.
Long story short: Wasn't Herpes, it was Thrush/ Yeast infection of some sort.
you can contract hsv1 genitally. it's the most common cause of genital herpes in the UK
Oh no :(
Would it be possible to contract genital herpes even if neither me or my parter have had sexual contact with anyone else?
odds are you haven't been tested for herpes properly if you are in the UK :(
Okay that won't be for a couple of days...
No im from the UK
stop back and let us know how your appointment went.
you aren't in the US correct?
I thought they might be herpes because the spots are primarily located on one side of the penis head, and isn't confused with a yeast infection because the anti-fungal cream (Canesten Double Strength) hasn't had any effects. Also i'v had an itchy throat. I'd put it all down to being a yeast infection except the spots aren't disappearing.
Yes, we both have had tests done. The only common thing that we've both had since being together is a yeast infection.
Unfortunately I can't get an appointment until Wednesday :( But yes i agree, i can't emphasise my eagerness to get it checked out!
these don't sound at all like herpes going on.
did you both have full std testing prior to sex with each other?
you need to go and be seen this week and get these looked at. they could be any number of things going on and a proper exam will tell you what it is. we'd just be guessing as to what is the cause of your symptoms.

Also to note:
Me and my girlfriend have only had intercourse with each other. And lube was used but note proper lube, it was more a cream, but i don't think this could have gave me the symptoms.
