Reply To: Could this be herpes

[Worriedhusband]

So last night (17 days since encounter) I noticed a small red spot on the shaft of my penis. There is a single tiny sore the size of a pinprick that I hope is just skin irritation. Is it possible it could be herpes given the timing or would you consider the odds to be low given the timing and description? I don’t have anything else that could be considered a symptom that I’m aware of and the spot doesn’t burn or anything but it’s a little sensitive to the touch like any type of irritation. There is no discharge or anything that could be swabbed but I’m still wondering if I should go to a clinic so they can look at it.
