Herpes or am I paranoid?

Herpes or am I paranoid?

11 months ago I had a one night stand with a girl of questionable STD status, but I used a condom.  I had no symptoms that suggested a STD for 9 months.  On the 9th month after the episode I got a small, painless, solid, red bump the size of a pimple or an ingrown hair on the very bottom of my shaft.  There was a hair growing out of it, so I plucked the hair and didn't think much of it.  About a month and a half later the exact same bump came up in the exact same spot.  It never has developed into anything other than a little red bump.  No fluid, no blister, no scap, just a single red bump.  I know this isn't common herpes symptoms but it concerns me that it came up in the exact same spot.  Could this be herpes?

I believe herpes cause painful blisters, try to do a search online, the bumps you describe is nowhere near herpes.

Do herpes always turn to blisters or can they be small painless bumps? Thanks for the help

It seems like I've finally found a match, this is exactly what I've been going through...except I'm African-American so it isn't red or anything, and just like yours, it isn't poppable. And I too just thought it was an ingrown hair until it returned a week later. No pain, no itching. I'm most likely going to get tested next week so I can stop driving myself crazy trying to figure out what it is...I suggest you do the same.
