Doc,
I seem to have a little bit of an embarrassing problem. After a night drinking I came home and masturbated for a long time. I did not use any lubrication at all. This morning in the shower I noticed two dark red spots, about half the size of an eraser (in close proximity, about 1 cm a part), on the side of my shaft.

Now my question is could this be herpes or did I just bruise my penis from masturbation? The spots themselves are NOT raised, and they do not have an ulcer or blister quality to them. They are NOT pimples, but they look like they could be under the skin (the redness). Is this any sort of condition? Right now I have put some hydrocortisone on them to see if it would help. I
