Genital Herpes worry

[lov2kayak66]

Herpes genital I have on occasions developed water or friction blisters from dry masterbation. Today I notices a small definite water blister on the head of my penis. in fact thought is was a drop on water. When i went to rub it off it did pop but very very little clear fluid showed up. Weird thing is i have not masterbated for a while. I know without seeing this it is a hard question but in your opinion do you think it is herpes? No pain or bump I
know you dont have to have multiple blisters as I did only have one...wouldnt of even noticed if i didnt look. after it popped i can hardly tell it was even there....can anything else mimic this? there was no redness what so ever

Good idea to get tested.  Again, water blisters on the penis are not normal.

Hi

Yes I am 48 so have had sex before.  No never had a cold sore. Will take a antibody test.  Like I said it was a single tiny water blister that would of been unnoticed unless I saw it..  no pain or anything,  After I rubbed it,,,cus I thought it was just a drop of water or urine it pooped easily..since then ho oozing just a little scab that is now gone.

Any water blister on the penis is a concern.  Have you, in your lifetime had sexual intercourse or received oral sex from anyone?  If yes, then there is a risk of genital herpes.  There are not many things that cause an actual water blister on the penis.  Have you had any of these water blisters swab tested for herpes in the past?  Have you ever had a herpes antibody test?  Have you ever had a cold sore in your lifetime?  These answers from you will help me give you better information.
