Hi, welcome to Healthcaremagic,

HSV-2 infection appears as group vesicular(fluid filled) lesion with burning.
Although HSV2 transmission can occurs if the CSW having the infection, even if the partner having no sore.

There is a feature to upload the image by yourself on the right side of this query page. You may utilize that. Alternatively, you can mail it to YYYY@YYYY with subject line as "ATTN: Dr. Shahid Hassan". I will review the photograph and get back to you.

Go for test

Hi, welcome again,

Clinically looks like herpes genitalis.

Go for PCR test for detection and differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2. It will confirm the diagnosis.

Thank you, Doctor. Even though there is no pain and the bumps don't appear to be fluid filled? Is that just because I've noticed it early? Is there anything else it might be? I will call my primary care doctor tomorrow.

Also - am I better off going to my dermatologist, my primary care physician, or a urologist?

Dermatologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome again,

At The glans the bumps are pearly penile papule which is normal in 19% of the population. At shaft the lesion looks like early stage of herpes as initial lesion appears without fluid.

It is better to consult your dermatologist.

If you have any other query please go ahead otherwise close the question and rate it.
