Is this herpes?

A few days ago, I received a bj. Immediately after, I noticed what looks like a scab or scrape of something on the shaft of my penis. There is no pain or itching or anything around that area. But I’m worried it’s herpes.. I will also include a photo. Please let me know if this looks like herpes.

I’m sorry. I thought there was an option to submit photos, but I don’t see that there is. But nevertheless, it looks like a scan scrape as describes. It’s approximately a little more than an inch in length. I don’t see any bumps or fluid or anything, and I haven’t experienced any pain as of now. But I’ve never seen something like this before. I also want to note that I have oral herpes already. And I’ve read that if someone has oral herpes, they can’t get that same type genitally, and I’m wondering how true that is? Thank You.

I’m so sorry I missed this post! Something that happens immediately is not herpes. The soonest I have seen a lesion develop after a sexual encounter that is herpes was 36 hours, and it doesn’t look like a scarpe. This sounds like something from teeth. And if you have oral herpes already, it is very unlikely that you would acquire HSV 1 from receiving oral sex.
