I am worried I have herpes

I am worried I have herpes. I had sex with a condom 7 weeks ago. About 1-2 weeks later a group of pimple like bumps started to form on the base of my penis. 13 total. They did not itch or cause any pain. 3 weeks afterwards, i came down with the flu. 4 weeks later, the bumps started to go down. They seemed like they were filled with fluid but they did not itch or burst at all. 5 weeks later i went to see a medic who said i have nothing to worry about because if they were herpes, they would itch cause pain and would have bursted open by now. So now 7 weeks later. the bumps have gone down significantly but they are still quite visible and have not completely gone away. They are quite small now, skin colored, but some seem to be filled with clear liquid or puss? I've been reading about the symptoms for herpes and they state that they would go away after about 2-3 weeks. this being the 7th week, i'm am getting worried. If they are not herpes, what are they?

If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed. - Mark Twain

You need to go to the doctor immediately. It doesn't sound like what you have is herpes, as you'd likely have suffered from a burning sensation more than anything and since you didn't, it's likely not that. However, there are so many STDs out there, it could be a number of other possibilities. I'm not a doctor nor an expert on the matter, but I think it sounds like genital warts (a form of HPV) The only way to know for sure is to go to the doctor. Do yourself a favor and don't wait to make an appointment. The symptoms have been there long enough that if not taken care of immediately can cause irreparable damage.

If you read up on herpes you'll find that everyone is different in the way it effects you. Some people get sores some don't, some get tiy bumps while others get redness and sometimes it can last a while. I would go see a doc and just get it taken care of.

Herpes Virus type II is a cold sore, that causes inflammation of the skin in the genital area. In the early stages, the virus will present itself as painful fluid filled cold sore. Symptoms will occur 3-6 days prior to a breakout. There is no cure for the Herpes Type II virus, but you can control the virus and learn how to treat the outbreak.  Here is an article that I wrote it will help you to understand and to treat a herpes outbreak.
