Herpes or what?

I'm 25.  Broke up with a long term gf of 4 years... went out got drunk and slept with a girl from a bar.  Have unprotected sex with her twice in one night.  Never talked to her again.  anyways 10+ days later 2 days ago, I developed a couple 2 red bumps almost looks like a pimple u would get on your face... on the shaft part of my penis... Not knowing what to do... tryed poping them... nothing really happened... maybe a little clear sluid came out of them... anyways i wake up yesterday morning... a day after noticing the two and now have 8 pimple like things on m shaft, none under the forskin area or where the pupic hair grows and not on the head of the penis... just 8 pimples in different area's on the sides and top none under the penis shaft.  Anyways... took a shower kinda washed it... soap and face cloth... and left them along didn't try to pop the rest of them... Today i wake up.. so total 3 days now... they look like pimples that u have poped on your face... like u pop it but its still red a little and have a little scab on the top and would usually just go away if u fallow me... so ya i now have 8 pimples with a scab at the top of the pimple on my shaft. They don't hurt but if i touch them their is a little kinda pain feeling..like a pimple on your face when u touch it...  Never seen this white lesions or whatever else some people talk about.  But i mean herpes is the most likely scenario right? :(  i just got back from the doc. and he thinks but is not sure it could be herpes... took a swab of them and said not to worry no one dies of this lol thanks doc.  Any advice is appreciated.

I was reading this and have a question. Recently I have had pimples in my inner thigh and bikini area, not on my genital area but I just can't find any information on what it could be. They aren't grouped together they are sporadically spaced and when I pop them they don't seem to spread, but are a little itchy and a real nuisance. I have never been unfaithful to my husband of 10 years and he has never had anything like this, could this be an STD or is it something I may be overlooking? It is driving me crazy! Thank you for any info/assistance you can offer me.

I think this could be herpes but probably is not.  It's probably blocked pores that you've aggravated by popping.  They sound too individual to be herpes, which causes blisters that are grouped together.  I advise you to stop popping the spots, to apply an antibiotic like bacitracin or neosporin daily, and to await the results of the test, which is very likely to be negative.  If you even get similar spots again, please leave them alone and show your doctor right away for another swab.  Also, you can wait 3 months and get a herpes 2 blood test, just for extra assurance, if you want.

Best.
