Herpes symptom but negative for Herpes 1&2

Hello, I had a partner for a year with whom I was monogamous. We were both tested for STDs and knew we were negative (this was at beginning and several months into our relationship). We tested for everything from Syphillis to Herpes to HIV negative.

We practiced anal sex (I'm a male) and about a day or two later I noticed a cluster of small reddish blister like bumps. They would secrete a fluid, and when popped they would become a bit sunken and take several days to heal. No pain or discomfort maybe just a slight itch but really without me examining myself I would not know they are there. I was concerned, went to doctor. The doctor ruled out Herpes because she said Herpes is 'painful'. She looked at my penis but the bumps were already healing and she really could not see anything.

I got tested HIV, chlamydia, Herpes types 1&2, Syphilis. All tests were NEGATIVE.

The problem is still happening. The cluster of bumps appear in exactly the same spot on my foreskin, then heal. It happens about once every few weeks. I have another doctor's appointment in a couple weeks and will bring it up again but wanted to post here in case anyone can give me any thoughts.

thank you.

The next time the blister appears, have your doctor test the actual fluid from the blister.  This is a great way to determine if it is herpes or not. Any further herpes concerns should be posted in the herpes forum.

Well been reading into HPV doesn't seem like it. I could swear this is Herpes. Like I said a doctor already checked me and nothing. However I will get an HPV test anyway. Any other diseases that cause tsomething like this? Also it's strange that the blistera appear in the same spot every time...

Well if you have been negative for herpes then you can probably rule that out...maybe HPV? Have your Dr take a look, he/she would be best to diagnosis this.
