Should I be concern?

I don't know if I should see a Dr or not but this is my concern. I had what looked like a rug burn scab on the upper head of my penis. Now I have no clue how I got it but I think it was from a ride I was on at an amusement park because I a little sore after riding it. I had no pain or any urinating issues. After a week it started to heal well but I still notice dry flaky skin. Is this a form of herpes or just an injury as I suspect? I haven’t been with anyone in some time and the person I have been with is STD free,,, if I have something I have no clue how I got it.

You're probably fine. If you are concerned, get it looked at.

It's probably not herpes, in which case you need to go post your message at the "Symptoms After Amusement Park Rides" forum.
