Hsv, hpv or something else?

Hello, I noticed a few small bumps at the base of my penis (near testicles). It’s about 4 or 5 of them and one is red. I have not engaged in any sexual activity in about a month and my last encounter was fully protected. I have shaved twice since that time, so I am not sure and I’m totally confused what this is! I have no pain when urinating, and no itching or tingling/burning where the pimples are. Are these warts? Is it possible these are genital herpes? I’ve never had this before and never had a herpes outbreak so if this was a first episode I would probably know right? I’d like to know if I can at least rule that out. I’ve also read a little about folliculitis, I just have no clue and I’d really appreciate someone with knowledge to help me out here! Thank you!

Hi sounds like a reaction from shaving. herpes are very painful and usually there is only one hpv wart.

Thanks for your response! So can I rule out herpes? Considering that area hasn’t even been in contact with any sexual partner, and I’ve had no pain either.

[Life360_Dave]

only testing would rule it out but what your describing would not be consistant with herpes symptoms

Definitely not herpes,  but if they are not painful,  I would not rule out genital warts.  I recommend getting checked,  genital warts can spread through the genital area, the anus and even the mouth.

So I still have these little bumps/pimples, still no painful urination or any painful feeling (unless it’s in my head). Are these a risk for me during sex? Say If the condom does not cover that area and I enter a girls vagina down to the uncovered part, is it an increased risk for anything? Should I not have sex until these go away?
