I have a tiny sore on my penis, could it be herpes?

The last time i had unprotected sex was 22 days ago.

I just noticed last night that i had a tiny 1mm cut on the outer skin of my penis. It kind of looked like a tiny sore or very shallow open wound but I only noticed this today and there was no blisters or anything prior that i saw. Today i woke up and it has turned into a pin prick sized scab. It looks as though it will be gone by tomorrow or the next day.

I know it's a long shot, but is this isolated sore likely to be herpes? I can provide a picture if necessary.

I don't suspect hsv. Sounds more like trauma of some sort.
