nervous about bumps

[Nervous1]

three ngihts ago I had unprotectes sex with a girl I know.I know she has had sex with a few different guys and I can assume she doesnt make them use condoms all the time.The day after I had sex with her...exactly a day...it was the following night...I noticed a few red bumps at the bottom of my penis right near the pubic area..I ahve gotten little red bumps on my penis before...they look liek pimples and I have never been concerned about them...but I am nervous about these...I have had them for 2 days now....I just went to the doctor and got herpes and clamydia tests....They are red bumps,looking like irritated follicles...She was stubly in ehr pubic area and we had sex a couple of time that night and this was the first time I had sex in about almost 8 months...I feel like it may be irritation from friction of very rough sex...she was wet and the act of sex was hurting me a bit at the time.i Havent had any trouble urinating....They dont look like blisters to me, but they are red bumps...i have about 4 of them in a similar region...I got a test but the results will take almost a week...anything u can tell me I would really appreciate.I am very nervous and I am a hyperchondriac
Thanks,B

I really haven't got anything to add.  If you're still nervous, please show the bumps to a doctor.

i have been reading that red bumps can be a sign of herpes.I hate to bother you but I am nervous
Thanks, B

herpes initially appear as blisters...or can they start as bumps
thats all I have to say.dont want to bother u
Thanks again, B

For starters, two reasons: 1)They came on too fast for herpes (incubation 3-5 days.) @)They are bumps and not blisters.

I really appreicate your help.but what exaclty deters you from thinking it is herpes...I sweated alot in that area that night..so did she.i am so enrvous about this..its almost day three and they are not gone
thanks so much, B

I think you have irritated follicles, as you yourself suggest.  This doesn't sound like herpes.  Also, you were wise to get checked in a timely fashion, so the test they did will be reliable if, as I expect, it will be negative.  Meantime, just clean and lubricate the area gently and don't worry.

Best.
