I dont know if i got herpers and im extremely nervous
Hi i had unprotected oral sex about 6 months ago. I havent had any burning sensation or pain during urination. but i did notice some red bumps under the penis head and you can only see it if u pull the foreskin back. they had never caused pain or did they bother me until today. i came home from the gym and it began to itch so i scratched and the bumps got redder and larger. so i immediately took a shower and the itchyness went away but the bumps are still there. what can it be? is it herpes?

I'm sorry, but I can't help you diagnose the things that you list. Your should see your healthcare provider for peeling skin on the penis as well as white spots growing on the shaft of your penis.

Have you ever in your life had a cold sore on your lip? If yes, then that's why your antibody test for HSV 1 is positive. I doubt that a small red painless dot at the opening of your penis is herpes, but if you remain concerned, you should have a clinician evaluate this.

Hey terri i got the the std test done i came out negative for everything except for HSV-1. but now i have noticed that i have a very small red painless bump(dot) on the opening of the penis. Can this be genital herpes?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
The most likely herpes infection you would get from receiving oral sex would be HSV 1, yes. If you are having a sore throat, I would advise that you see your regular health care provider to get that checked out, and explain your worries and your situation so they can help you best.

i have not had any cold sores yet. Can i still get HSV 2 too or do i only get HSV1 if i just recieved oral sex? And my throat has been hurting now is it related to Herpes?

If you have bumps under the foreskin, these could be many things, but if they itch, it could certainly be a yeast/fungal infection. It could be herpes, impossible to say over the internet. If you do decide to get tested, you only want an IgG antibody test. And you have waited long enough from the exposure to get the test. Have you ever had a cold sore on your lip? If yes, then you will already be positive for HSV 1 infection, which is what you would most likely get from receiving oral sex.

and the bumps are only on the right side under the penis head and can only be seen when foreskin is pulled back
