Unsure about what to think

Hello,

About 8 months ago I had unprotected sex with a girl.  A few weeks later I noticed a single, large red bump on the side of my penis where the shaft and the head connect.  The bump went away after a few days without crusting over or any sores appearing.  Concerned I sent her an email, I am currently abroad and we hooked up the night before I left, and asked that she go get tested.  She did and she said she turned out to be clean, although I don't know what exactly she was tested for.  She also said she described my symptoms to the doctor when she was tested and was advised that it was more than likely a build up of oil.  The thing that worries me though is that every once in a while I'll get a shooting pain in my penis, this generally happens when its cold and rainy outside, and when I looked around the area recently were the bump first occurred it appears that there is still a mark.  Its not raised or anything just still there is something there where the bump was.  I haven't noticed any more outbreaks or anything like that I was told normally accompany herpes.

I was wondering if it sounds like herpes?  I've been abstaining from sex and since I'm out of the country I don't really know where I could go to get tested anyways.

Thanks

I just spoke with her actually, she said she was tested for many different things including herpes.  So I'll unless I see something that is out of the ordinary, I think I may be in the clear and these things were just a creation of an overactive mind.

So she got tested, and did you, too?

The only way you'll know if you have herpes is if you get tested. Request an IgG type specific blood test.
