Red Bump on Shaft

I have been concerned about herpes for some time now. The first time I got a red bump on the shaft of my penis I had it examined and the results came back negative and I was given a hydrocortisone cream to use on the effected area. for about three months now I have been worried that I have Herpes again. I got the same type of red bump in the same general area, almost identical and in the exact same spot I got the first one...It goes away and comes back on the same spot. I poped it just a few days ago and it was like a pimple, no clear fluid it was white or off white like pimple fluid. I also masterbated recently and recieved what looks like a rash on the bottom of my penis, I think it might be from irritation but I am not sure. I don't see many bumps just the one I am talking about and there might be two in one if you know what I mean. I am seriously worried and at times I find myself losing sleep over the matter.
The bump is slightly itchy but it doesn't cause me to itch (Not like Mosquito bite itch), just when I touch it I feel it itch and occasionally I feel it get itchy, if that makes sense. Does this sound like Herpes a just a dirty Penis?
Please respond, I need a professional opinion.

Genital Herpes?

Hi liquid,

I'm afraid I can't give you a professional opinion as I am not a doctor.

But I would advice you to get another test, they can be false negative as well as false positive.

It doesn't sound like Genital Herpes, though, but do get another test or at least see a doctor just to put your mind at ease.

Read more in our Genital Herpes FAQ page.

Kind regards,

iv
