I dont know what to think, is this herpes?

For maybe five months now, I have noticed some very small flesh colored bumps on the base of the shaft of my penis. They sometimes itch but have not seemed to really gotten worse or better. I have recieved unprotected oral sex a few times in the past year but have now had unprotected sex in a long while and these bumps have just appeared recently. The bumps arent white and dont have puss or any kind of discharge. They are tiny, flesh colored, and barely noticeable. Can anyone give me a good opinion on what this might be and if I should be worried?

Thanks for any help!

Best thing to do is be seen by your provider for a proper work up.  A dermatolgoist will be the best one to seen.

It's not herpes if that's what you worried about. Herpes doesn't come and stay around for that long and it doesn't show up as flesh colored whatever you called it. If you are worried about herpes, from what you have described it is definitely 100% not that.
