Reoccuring red spots/bumps on head of penis
About 5 months ago i had protected sex with a woman i didnt know. From what i can remember, the condom didnt break or anything. The next day i woke up and had several red spots (couldnt tell if they were raised or not) on the head of my penis. They were painless, there was no itching at all and there was no fluid in them. 2 weeks later i went to the STD clinic to have the spots looked at ( most had faded by then) The nurse told me it didnt look like herpes but proceeded to swab the area just to be sure. I also had urine/blood tests done which all came back negative. They all seemed to clear up for about 2 months, but since then I keep having reoccuring red spots appaear and disappear on the head of my penis. My anxiety levels are really starting to get to me since i think i may have contracted herpes some how.Now, About a week ago, i had 1 spot and as soon as it faded, another one appeared in a different area of my penis head. This is causing me to constantly be peeling back my foreskin and inspecting down there. The red spots/bumps have never been painful or seem to have aly liquid in them at all, theres no itching either. Infact the only thing its doing is giving me mental problems. I havent been eating and i feel tired and weak from depression. Please can someone give me their opinion on what is going on? im very scared and cant stop worrying. Could this infact be genital herpes?
An initial infection of herpes will mean that in almost all (if not all) cases lesions appear at least at the site of nerve endings that were infected. From there, outbreaks at other nerve endings are possible.
The nerve endings on the head of your penis cannot be the initial infection site. In fact it is pretty rare to have an outbreak there alone as the shaft is nearly always involved as well.

You will not be able to have an outbreak solely in a protected area. This is the factor that suggests this is something else. This is not reselbling genital herpes.

Thanks you for the reply Fleetwoood20, but what exactly do you mean solely in a protected area?
