Could this bump possibly be HSV?

I have a very small, skin colored (not red or white) bump on the head of my penis that just appeared out of nowhere. No itching, no pain, just appeared out of nowhere. Does that sound like it could be a herpes outbreak? It is a little to the right of the urethra opening. I’ve only had protected vaginal sex but I have had oral (last time was early October) and have had handjobs. I got a handjob literally the day before I noticed this very small bump.

I barely even wanna call it a bump because it’s so small, but I can tell it’s definitely there. Any guesses as to what it could be? Hopefully it won’t get any bigger tomorrow or I start having symptoms later.

Then my advice would be to see a mental health professional about your fears. This isn't meant to be demeaning. You've researched this enough to know your "paranoia" isn't healthy.

You post an awful lot about herpes possibilities. I would see a dr or dermatologist.

I did and the most recent time I went they said it wasn’t. Every time I see something (it’s always something Different, I wouldn’t post repeatedly about the same thing) I get paranoid.
