little red bumps and scab
I had sex 3-4 weeks ago unprotected and masturbated 3 days ago with a dirty rag and immediately after i noticed a friendly itch and little red bumps on my shaft (which are still here). These bumps barely itch but i have a an area on the shaft that feels like a scab. Should i be worried?
Genital warts should not feel like a scab, that sounds more like herpes to me. Also all warts look different so you can't diagnose yourself by comparing to pictures online.
You had unprotected sex, so you had a high risk encounter, although it could be many things not STD related. The only way to know is to get checked by a professional. If it is warts, then the longer you leave it, the harder they will be to treat.
