Is this gential herpes?

Hey guys,

A few months back I was diagnosed with thrush, and today I still have balantis. In recent weeks I thought it went away. I have a girlfriend for a year now and she's hasn't had any symptoms of anything before. She was a Virgin with me. I did sleep with another girl 1 year and 2 months ago, has no side affects at all. Anyway, after being to a doctor a few months back and telling me I was silly, today I noticed two little red bumps (not really bumps as when I touch them it doesn't feel bumpy, red dot like) on the head of my penis. I am very scared, it doesn't hurt or itch at all. And I have had no illnesses at all recently. I have though been washing the top of me penis with soap which I have never done before in the past few weeks, and also realised that I wash my armpits and bum with the same soap. So could this be the reason why the red dots occurred. Yet again, they do not hurt or itch. Thanks :)

Not herpes related. Just keep an eye on them. Don't over wash with soap as you will strip the skin of necessary oils and dry out causing further issues. I get the red spots exactly like you describe from time to time. It's nothing sinister I assure you
