Don't know what this is

I just shaved and found red bumbs around my penis shaft, they don't itch or burn but i have recently had unprotected sex. i am sexualy active and just started noticing these red bumbs around my penis shaft. I don't what it is but im starting to get worried. Any advice?

Could be herpes or irritation from shaving. Did you notice these before you shaved or after?

I would recommend you get an HSV IGG test to see if you are infected or have been infected with herpes in the past. Remember, you must test 12-16 weeks after your last encounter to really feel somewhat confident in the results.

If I were you, I would also see a dermatologist to get their opinion and get those bumps swabbed for herpes just in case.
