Do Two Red Bumps On The Penile Shaft Indicate Genital Herpes?
Had a question about genital herpes. I saw what appeared to o be 2 red bumps on penile shaft. They don t bother and when i looked all I kept seeing on google is genital herpes. I did take a home blood test today and it was negative. Should i be worried?

Hello,
It is unlikely to be herpes. As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
