You can watch and wait. What you notices is likely the dorsal vein and not an artery. It should become less prominent when the inflammation subsides. Inform your sex partners of your herpes infection status. Condom may not prevent transmission of herpes to your sex partner. Wish you good health!

It is not an artery but what is called the dorsal vein of the penis and is normal. and prominent in some people. Nothimg to worry about. Please always use prophylaxis when not knowing the STD transmissibility of the person.
