friction burn after sex

i had sex about an hour ago with my girlfriend. after i started to get a burning sensation on my penis then a tiny little sore pimple popped up. i used a trojan fire and ice condom i was wondering if it was herpes of just friction burn please let me no thank you also it looks like there is a rash on my shaft.

Hello,
Since it appeared after an hour of intercourse, it looks like friction sore rather than herpes. Wash the areas with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
