Update..... Still there... Been there for almost 3 months straight in one form or another... It's mostly just a rough patch of skin, very slightly raised, sex or masterbaition seems to roughen up the area, creating a greyish chapped skin kind of look, so I assume this rules out hrrpes...

When they seem to break, there is no crater, they only seem to break on the "wrinkly" part of skin blow the glans

Exposure was unprotected oral sex.  The pain isn't anywhere near the spots, the spots seem to break open and look like dried skin, no fluid though, and they are small.. The penis pain is constant for a year.. Pain inside as well, I have other posts on this. Started a year ago after a different oral encounter, was tested for the main 3 and HIV all negative, had spots then, std clinic didn't test for herpes and said they didn't resemble herpes at all, goofy to get prostate checked for other pain, went to doctor,  no signs of infection, treated for urethritis, even though test were negative, didn't help

Your description sounds like herpes, but without more information on possible exposure, any tests done, etc then it's hard to give you any sound input.

Can herpes present itself in clusters with a grey tint that causes pain on penis shaft? Yes, absolutely. However, you need to get those lesions swabbed and blood tested for confirmation. Are the lesions fluid filled? Are they leaving crater type holes in skin?

I noticed some itching, and found very small clusters of small white spots, no pain to the touch,  after masturbating, they seemed "chaffed", like dead skin... Now they seem there and intact, they kind of have a shiny grey tint to the clusters..

Hi, most often they are described as blister or razor type cuts but can be very minor and get mistaken for something else and this is the main reason its transmitted as they did not realize they were having an outbreak. Why do you ask this question?
