Brief Answer:
It can be due to Herpes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A reddish blister like bump on penis can be related to STD like Herpes.
STD’s usually present with many symptoms chief ones being any discharge, burning sensation in urethra, redness, irritation, ulcer or sore, pain or blood during ejaculation, pain in the genitalia or early flu like symptoms in case of HIV.
As per your history, it seems like Herpes but a physical examination and investigation would be helpful in confirmation of the diagnosis.
Since you had unprotected intercourse so possibility of sexually transmitted disease is high.The risk of the infection also depends on whether your girlfriend is actually infected or not.
I would advise you to visit your Healthcare Provider earliest for evaluation and required investigations so that appropriate treatment can be started soon.
Meanwhile avoid intercourse until cured.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
