I shave regularly in the private area. The other day I used a different razor, with no shaving cream, and I shaved fast. In the next few days I noticed about 6 red bumps in the area that I shaved, at the base of the penisCancer - penis Curvature of the penis Penis care (uncircumcised) Penis pain, and halfway up the shaft. (I get hairs there). A few of the red bumps had hair in the middle, which I plucked out. It has been a day and a night, and they look significantly better already. I have no other symptoms. I don't really have any reason to believe that I have herpes other than a rumor that was spread that I gave my ex GF the virus. I confirmed with her that I did not. I have never had blisters down there or experienced any "PrimaryPrimary amyloidosis Primary biliary cirrhosis Primary hyperparathyroidism Primary insomnia Primary lymphoma of the brain outbreak". I have had a few of these bumps before, that seemed to come after shaving. Any way it could be herpes, or am I being strange ? I have been monogamous for months with the same girl as well, and I know that she is clean. I was tested for everything almost a year ago as well, and most of my sexualCauses of sexual dysfunction Erection problems Female sexual dysfunction Sexual problems overview experience was before that test.
