Herpes or? - Herpes Message Board

I recently had sex for the first time in months and didn't use a condom. And when I looked down there this morning, there were red spots from the middle of my head to about | | that much below it. I am uncircumsized and the red spots aren't anywhere other than where my foreskin covers. I've been told it could be a transfer of a yeast infection, but I just wanna be sure. I'm new to this board so I don't know if I can post a link to a picture so you guys can get a better idea of what I am talking about. If it is allowed please tell me so I can host it immediately so I can get an answer soon.

Herpes symptoms vary greatly, so we couldn't tell from a picture. Many times drs can't make a visual diagnosis--in fact, they shouldn't. The best way to be sure of what you have is to go now, while the red spots are there, and get them cultured.
