Does this sound like herpes or ingrown hair?
I’m a 21 year old male. Washing I saw that I had 1 blister around my penis like where the hair is. It broke open when I was washing and I put aloe Vera gel and cocoa butter on it. Is it possible this is herpes? There’s no rash or pain and doesn’t seem to be spreading. I did have one when summer first started but that was the same story, it broke, i used aloe Vera and cocoa etc then it went away. The last time I had unprotected sex was about 4-5 weeks ago. I know she has nothing because she’s been tested a few times for everything when she got birth control. I had sex protected with another girl 2 weeks ago that I don’t know very well? Also I don’t shave so they can’t be razor bumps, I just trim it low with scissors. Can someone help if this sounds more like herpes or an ingrown hair.

To give yourself peace of mind, and to potentially protect future sex partners, go get tested. It's easy (any Planned Parenthood clinic can provide a test), it's not expensive, and it's the right thing to do.

Probably not an in grown hair if you don't use a razor.
If you don't have any symptoms like itching, burning and or tingling then it's tricky to say for sure if it's herpes or not.
It could be a very mild break out, or some irritation. To be sure if it's herpes or not, you should see a doctor and get it tested for herpes.
