Thanks. I renewed my subscription because I found out additional possible symptom that I’d like your opinion on. Under my foreskin, near the tip of my penis, I found one small, white bump. I can’t tell if this is the beginning of a herpes blister or not. There is only one, and it is not surrounded by a red rash or anything. It is not sensitive or painful to touch.
I’ve attached a picture. Would you be willing to give me your opinion? It’s just to the right of the foreskin “bridge” or whatever you call it. I don’t know if this is new or not since I don’t usually inspect the underside of my foreskin that closely.
If my doctor swabbed this, would it be enough to produce a reliable culture? Note that the blood test won’t work for me since I was only potentially exposed 10 days ago, and the antibodies likely would’ve have formed.
