About 3 months ago I had unprotected sex with a girl. I now have had these bummps appear on the head of my penis. They are small, you can see them better if you stretch the skin tighter. Probably about 10-12 of them. There is a picture of them below. i tried to get the best picture I can, but let me know if you need a better one. I have also had a tingling on the left side of me face...once about 2 months ago and now again. read that it could be a sign of herpes, so i went and got tested about 2 months ago and everything came back negative. Is a month long enough to wait to get tested? or should I get test again?Thanks Worried2010http://tinypic.com/m/90x668/3

It looks like the picture has been pulled by tinypic. From your description, herpes or warts seem possible.

What did the doctor think they were?
-
He said they were just swelled glands.
-
Do you have any thoughts on what you think it is?Thanks in advance
-
I really don't know, so I'm assuming the doctor knows what he is talking about.

Mind reposting the picture again since it got mysteriously taken off from your webpage source? Are the bumps under the head part? I'm also anxious since I also have this phenomenon.

They are on his second post.

It looks like it may be herpes. Doctors misdiagnose it all the time. You should see if he'll test you for it to be sure. Many times herpes has very little symptoms and can be spread while there are no symptoms present. Also the time line you gave is about perfect for herpes.

Expert of a herpes dating website said when symptoms do occur, they can easily be mistaken for something else. Without adequate testing you may be told you are infected with genital herpes and not be, or the other way around. What kind of test did you have? You'd better have a PCR blood test because it can tell if you have genital herpes even if you don't have symptoms. The PCR test looks for pieces of the virus' DNA. This is the most common test used to diagnose genital herpes and is very accurate.
