Herpes or Misdiagnosed

So, last week i had red bumps on the shaft of my penis and looking today its like its cleared up except two which looks like it would be healed. I went to the doctor and everything and they said it looks like herpes but my thing isn't the first outbreak the longest? And, my partner was looked at and said she didnt have anything?

I agree, visual diagnoses is really not to way to approch herpes, only a swab of a recent sore or a blood test.

Ok yeah the sores are already cleared except like two. So I'm waiting on the results but I think it's a misdiagnoses. But I put Abreva on it once a day but idk if it was due to me taking Valtrex on the first day of the bumps and using Abreva is that a reason why the sores are clearer and it's only two left or they probably misdiagnosed me
