worried

Noticed a few bumps on my penis today. Kinda red no swelling puss or anything..I don't know if there herpes I just got rid of a stray cat and my body has a lot of flea bites..I didn't know if flea bites would show up on a penis..I'm gonna make a Dermeatolgist appointment. I haven't had sex in about 4 months and didn't notice anything til the fleas came what I just kinda need some reassurance i guess

Thank you I just wanna be 100%. I think and hope your right. Do you think if it was herpes I'd have seen it sooner and it wouldn't be all over the back of my legs and on my stomach and legs too..I guess I just freaked out cause seeing weird spots on your penis is alarming ya know

these don't sound at all like herpes. I wouldn't even bother going to be seen for them at this point.


It can take awhile to get rid of fleas :(  A dermatologist can't give you anything to treat for fleas, that is what pet stores and vets are for.

if you have active symptoms, the best thing to do is see your regular provider today or tomorrow for an exam.  No need for a dermatologist at this point for this.

usually flea bites are flat and red unless you are extra sensitive to them in which they become raised.

Doesn't sound like herpes. However, I can't give you a 100% answer, which will only be answered through a blood test, PCR, or culture. It doesn't sound worrying in my opinion due to the circumstances. I'd get it checked out to be safe, but these don't sound like textbook herpes lesions.
