I have unprotected sex over 14 months ago, about 4 months or more ago I had one white pimple type bump on the shafts of my penis, within 2 months I have a few more and some pin prick type sensation, the bumps are hard small and white, and not really noticeable unless I am erect, they do not turn into open wounds or cuts, recently I was able to pop one and a hard white plug/ core/ root came out and left a tiny crater that has seemed to heal, once the core or plug is removed the tingling stopped, is this herpes? Or worse
mc doesn't present as a blister.
definitely way past time to be seen and to deal with this properly. if this was unprotected sex, be sure to follow up with full std testing too to cover your bases.

Could MC not have a node in the center?
Well, herpes sore look like they have a white center in ulcer stage. But plain pimples also have a "white center".
having a herpes outbreak along with MC would be statistically unlikely, although certainly not impossible. MC is very characteristic, anyone who treats STD will be able to diagnose it.
What are the chances of getting both at the same time or having MC bumps and herpes bringing them out!?
Yeah but what do you think about the bump without the off white center?
This could be a number of things going on. Herpes sores won't have a poppable white center - that sounds more like a folliculitis.
Anyway, be seen by a doctor to get answers. If they suspect herpes, make sure they swab it and type it.
