Hi,

I am worried that I might have a mild case of herpes. Under my foreskin I have a small line of spots that look like a sore. They're not scabbing as they're just the same colour as skin and they do not hurt. Could it be herpes? I've never had any sexual contact involving my penis so its not possible I've caught it from someone.

Its a little bit like that ^^^ Apart from they aren't red and its only a tiny strip (maybe half an inch wide and half a cm or less tall)

any help? i really dont want to go and see a doctor i have enough nervous trouble talking to my parents about my manhood never mind a stranger.
