Red dot on head of penis - Recurring
About 3 months ago, I've noticed a small blemish on the head of my penis, it then formed alittle red, and went away. It was probably the size of the top of a pen, maybe alittle bigger. It has now returned in the exact same place. when i pull the skin tight, its not noticable, but left alone, it looks like a very small pimple thats just red, nothing white, no discharge or cluster, just the one pimple...I have not had unprotected sex since my last std test, but i have engaged in oral sex a few times. I am very scared that because of it recurring in the very same place, it has to be herpes. This is the second time. I have been stressed recently and from what i've read on this forum, i cant get it out of my mind that its an std, very scared.
Okey Red Dots have been appearing on my penis and around the tip and alot of other things the skin is moving and making small bumps or hills on it and it's Gross... I was reading and I think it's herpes but I need to know what the helll it is thank you for you'r help...

Well, I would say maybe "just a pimple", which can occur on the shaft of the penis but extremely rarely on the glans (head). Otherwise hard to speculate further. Sorry.

Yes, herpes sounds possible. Arrange to see a health care provider promptly (the same day) the next time it occurs; or just have a herpes blood test--request the Focus HerpeSelect HSV-2 test by name.
Herpes isn't nearly as big a deal as most people make it out to be. Treatment is available and protecting partners from infection is easier than most people assume. I won't say "relax", which perhaps isn't possible. But it isn't as big a deal as you seem to think.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
