Are Itchiness And Bumps On Penis Shaft Suggestive Of Genital Herpes?

Ok I had sex with a girl 2 days ago that I now know has genital herpes I was wearing a condom later she told me it happens on the right side of the outer vagina I was nervous after finding out she had herpes so I went to doctor they said I will have to wait 7 weeks before I can be tested and prescribed me voltrex just in case I ve started feeling itchy and today noticed a small white bump on the shaft of my penis and am really scared that it may be herpes
