Hello, I have a question/concern about a sexual encounter with my girlfriend. And as far as I know we are in a monagomus relationship. First I want to point out that we live in different states. Last time I was back home in May we had sex a number of times until the end of May when I had to return to school. In the past weeks I have had stomach cramps and within the last week I noticed a discomfort on the skin near the top of my penis. I looked closer and it was a red bump and flesh colored. The next day it oozed a clear liquid but only when I squeezed the area. It appears to be healing but no golden crust formed. This bump burns and still gives me discomfort to date. Is this a sign of herpes? I read that the incubation period is 2 to 30 days with 21 days being the average. Since my last possible exposure is it possible that I could have acquired the infection and that could be an outbreak even though it has been almost 2 months? Thank you for your time and consideration!
