A member asked:

Red dot that looks like a pimple on the head of my penis. it doesn't hurt or itch. could this be herpes? i'm afraid. please help.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely not: Herpes usually is a bunch of blisters. very painful. this could be a hair bump. but to make accurate dx it needs to be looked at by a doctor
