Herpes, infected hair or infected fordyce?

Hello!

Today I noticed a red little mark on penis shaft today, it doesn't itch not does it hurt. It doesn't look like so far to have pus on it, but I just found it today. I have no rashes in this area, and it's just this. It's near the middle of my shaft, where some fordyce parts are. I have recently gone to a sexual health clinic before the bump was there (3 days ago) and they said I had a yeast infection. I have shaved my pubes 2 and half weeks back, and still today some pimples (which was diagnosed with hair focilltus by the sexual health person). The only thing I am worried about is that before this I had some shooting pains down both my legs and sometime right arm. Also, I had thrush which led to intertigo on my inner thighs and scrotum. I also talked to a nurse on the 111 and she said it sounded like hait focillitus and I should carry on with my life. I'm very scared. And the shooting pains were diagnosed to high stress levels. Lastly I have diahorrea too and a lost appetite but yet again I believe that this is due to stress and anxiety like the doctor said. Please help!

I agree with everytthing your Dr has said. Theshooting pains I wwouldn't put much stock in. Just keep an eye on the red spot. If it progresses into a fluid filled blister than go get it tested. I highly doubt this will happen but always play it safe. I also agree stressing can mess with your whole body causing all sorts of issues. Try and relax as hsv for what you describe is doubtful. Stop reading all the info online that fuels your fears. Keep me posted if anything changes

Those are normal indeed. Glad your starting to feel better. With your history and complete lack of any credible hsv stmptoms. I think you can be very confident you do not have hsv

Hey, apologies of contacting you again, but yesterday I saw my girlfriend (who has shown no symptoms of anything), we did a lot of rubbing and such (didnt have sex), but she then laid on top of me for 10 mins with her knee right ploughing onto my penis. It hurt quite alot, but she was upset so I didn't say anything. 20 minutes later, my urethra hurt and I had a slight red mark on penis tip. It doesnt itch or hurt, only really burns when I touch it. Do you think this is herpes. Also I have one on my shaft and it looks like it crusting abit, do you think that this a friction burn? No blisters have appeared,

Thanks ever so much for replying. All is going well with, was anxious and tried popping it but I couldn't. Honestly looks like a normal bump on the penis but a tiny bit red. Still doesn't hurt when I touch it and no itching. Thanks for the help. May I ask if it was herpes or a blister how would I know. Would it hurt to touch, would it itch? Thank you :)

Also my sexual history is this. I have only had sex and oral sex with 2 girls. One of them is was my gf who has done nothing in her life, and the other just got out of a 2 year relationship (this was in October). Only got intetrigo 3 months later, and have shown no symptoms of herpes. Had one swollen papsule on my scrotum when I just started intertrigo, spoke to the doctor said it was normal. :)
