Question:
hi i noticed on the area just below the "head" of my penis 2 bumps appeared. they have been there for approximately 4 days and do not hurt or tingle or itch at all and one of them looks like it has a little bit of white puss in it. i am losing sleep over this and i can't make it to a clinic right now to get it checked out. how long does it take if this is herpes to burst and turn into a sore? would it have already? thanks so much!

Answer:
Hi,

It doesn't sound like herpes to me...
Sounds like ingrown hair or pimples, or something...

Herpes outbreak is more like... you get many tiny red bumps and they soon form one big blister. And usually... you get pain, or some other symptoms along with it.

I can't say I'm 100% sure, but... pretty much... it's not herpes.
But if it stays there and bother you..., I recommend you to go see a doctor when you can. Just to make sure what it is..

Best wishes..

Faith

Answer:
thanks faith, i just want to know if it is herpes would it have already burst by now or at least hurt? i know for sure that these are filled with a tiny bit of puss on top like a small whitehead pimple or something. is there any for-sure way i can rule it out?

Answer:
If you see puss, I'm pretty much sure, it's not herpes.
And it depends on the person, but ... you would have pain or some kind of uncomfortable feeling there at least, if it's herpes.

There is no other way to make sure than going to see a doctor and let him/her examine, and test if necessary...

Still... I don't think you should worry about herpes...

Answer:
I don't want to add more worry to you but I also got 2 pimple like sores,no pain,no itch.after a few days it did scab,then got about 4 or 5 more never any pain but had trouble urinating.it turned out to be herpes.I'm still accepting it an pray I never see any more sores,which I haven't but it's only been hardly a month!You can hope & pray for the best but if you really want to know get a swab test while they can get some "juice" (puss,fluid) on the swab.I truely wish you the best!!

Answer:
Yeah.. like mrniceguy said, if you have trouble urinating, go see a doctor immediately. Lot of people experience that when you get infected with herpes.

Answer:
okay its day 7 of this and im just posting to comfort myself although after a lot of meticulous research i dont think it is. the bumps i have now look exactly like pimples with a defined center with a tiny bit of puss in it and i have no pain, itching, trouble urinating or anything of the like. they are extremely small and have shrunk since i have first seen them. does this pretty much rule it out? thank you in advance to faith and anyone else who has been reading and answering these posts

Answer:
Yeah.... in your case... I don't think it's herpes..
