Bump On Penis, Pubic Area After Protected Sex. Had Lesion On Pubic Hair, Blemishes On Penis. Herpes?
December 2012 - Have protected sex with a girl I assumed was clean and a few days later I had one bump on my penis and one bump in my pubic area. Assume it's nothing because they both went away after applying rubbing alcohol for a few days.
Over the course of the next few months I noticed paper cut like lesions in my pubic hair usually around my pubic hair follicle so I assumed it was folluculitus and applied anti-fungus medicine which seemed to be very effective.
I was symptom free for a few months up until late August when I noticed a blemish on my penis which freaked me out. Over the course of the last month and a half I've had non-stop blemishes on my penis which start off red and then eventually crust over.
I fell alseep last night feeling a little tingle on my penis but for the most part it seemed as though everything was going back to normal. Until I woke up this morning with my private area looking nasty and I am pretty worried about it.
My question to you is does this look like herpes or possibly another skin disorder?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
No for sure it is not herpes infection, but chances of viral infection is most likely, for better confirmation you need to be examined by dermatologist, keep the area very much clean shave the pubic area, watch for other sign and symptoms like tenderness swelling pus collection, have nice day.
