Mild herpes?

I have symptoms of small red spots beneath the foreskin.  There is a cycle of a couple appearing, then they fade to nothing over a few days (leaving me 'all clear') before i notice another couple have appeared in slightly different places.

They have been coming and going for about 4 weeks now, they never itch or cause pain.  I don't think they blister or break, but they are so small it's hard to tell.

Anyone have a similar experience and did it turn out to be herpes?

Thank you so much! I see that you post a lot on the forum and wanted to let you know your responses are so helpful! It gives me a little hope that I don't have it. My only problem is I live in MS and I've been calling around and people are saying that WB test is not used for hSV 1 & 2. I even called labcorp but I see the closet questlab is alabama. I have an appointment w/ my doctor in april, that will be 4 weeks..will that test be good enough or long enough to test correctly and if it goes under 3.5 do you think its best to just go ahead and try WB test? Any advice is needed thank you...

i read your post on the international expert forum and I agree - it's more likely a fungal infection or even just irritation going on.

continue to be seen every time you have symptoms and make sure you are cleansing under your foreskin daily in the shower too.
