Reply To: Nervous about herpes

[JohnSmith2487]

Hi — I am uncurcumcised, and you are looking at the head of my penis, with the foreskin pulled back.

I have never had a cold sore, hence my reason for being nervous.

It does not look like a pimple to me. It is flat to the touch, not raised at all. I don’t see any white head associated with it so far.

Regarding my previous questions, would herpes at this stage be painful to the touch? How long until it formed blisters?

I’ve attached another picture that’s zoomed out a bit for better perspective. Don’t worry about the other red area at the top of the frame — that’s a red birthmark or something that I’ve had for years.
