I Have A Bump That Appears To Be A Spider Bite.Could It Be Herpes?

I have a bump that appears to be a spider bite or pimple about 2 inches above my penis. It is not blistering, nor does it have the head of a zit. It is tender, but doesn t sting, burn, or itch. The bump is probably a quarter inch wide and firm. It appeared a few days ago, maybe 3 or 4. Maybe getting smaller? Could it be herpes? I was exposed to the blood of someone with herpes when she cut herself and I was dressing the wound . Got her blood on my hands.

Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic

Hi..., the transmission of the herpes can occur by skin contact also by blood..
since you had a recent contact with that patient.,, the infection may be genital herpes..
you must be treated with antiviral drugs... Acyclovir it the drug of choice,..
Hope I have answered your question..

Takecare..
