Question 2

tiny tiny bump on base of penis not popable no pus no pain no itch. noticed it 2 days ago just doing an exam. i did shave that area days ago so i dont know if its from razor but its not firm. could it be genital herpes?its flesh colored btw?

Accepted Answer

: Herpes lesions start as spots then become tiny painful ulcers and burst with clear fluid. What you describe seems more of hair follicles or sebacious glands of skin irritated/ inflammed. . Keep area clean and it should get better. Suggest trim instead of shave to avoid such problem. Good luck

i shared someones razor after they used it a few minutes later and after i used they confirmed they had hsv2 (genital herpes). 2 weeks later i noticed hsv2 like sores and bumps on my penis. i have never had sex. is this a possible?

It certainly would: be possible. Of course there are other potential reasons for the sore but without being able to examine you this cannot be confirmed. If you are very concerned about this make an appointment with a health care professional for an examination. Sharing sharp personal hygiene appliances is never a good idea.
