Question: I think I may have genital herpes but I’ve never had sex

Follow up: Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (10 minutes later)

Hello, I was using the bathroom one day and I took a look at my penis and I saw these little bumps on it and they look a little like genital herpes, I haven’t gotten tested yet, but I’m wondering how would this be possible? I’ve never had a sex a day in my life

Brief Answer:
Normal glands not related to herpes genitalis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached and they look completely normal.
There are no bump or blisters fluid filled or ulcerative. You are having some normal colour bumps which are normal glands of the mucosal lining.

Also you are not having symptoms of burning pain, itching and discharge and you never had sexual activity.
So don't worry you are not having herpes genitalis.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
