So I had this "pimple" that grew on my shaft and then forned a blood center. I popped it and blood came out with a little puss. I havent had sex in 8 months and that was the only person that I was ever with. It was really sore and I have never seen a herpes picture with a pimple like this.

If it looks like a pimple and acts like a pimple - chances are, it's a pimple.

Do you have any reason to think you might have herpes. Do you know that your partner has it??

It's probably nothing, likely an ingrown hair. However, just to allow yourself to relax, go get tested for the virus. It takes 3 - 4 months for the antibodies to show up in a blood test, and you are well outside that time frame - so any test result you get will be valid.

the only thing was, it was pretty swollen and sore, but then again, just like a pimple that you get inside your nose. Can I Jsut go to a regular doctor to get tested?
