Small bump on my penis
Hi I posted a question on another forum and got some some help but looking for a little bit more. I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a sex worker 5 days ago. 2 Days ago i developed a sore throat stuffy nose and had some fatigue. I didnt register a fever. Today i feel alot better but when i woke up there is a singular small bump on the base of me penis. Could this be herpes? Would herpes symptoms show up this quickly? Also i trimmed the area around my penis with some hair clippers could it be the area is irratated from the small hairs? Would i test positive for herpes this soon if i am possibly showing signs? I also have HVP and i used to have a wart in the same spot as the bump before it was froze off could this be the HPV returning?
Thank you for your response. I myself am begining to think it is an ingrown hair i have an appointment with a dermotoligist tomorrow. I will re post any results thank you very much
Hi, yes 2 days falls into the symptom date and the location as well but from what you describe does not seem herpes related but more of an ingrown hair. However, a swab of the sore taken witin 48 hours after appearing would be advised for herpes concerns, or a blood test in 3 months.
