I am about to enter in a new relationship and wanted to ask about possible herpes symptoms from a year ago. 

I had a protected sexual encounter with an acquaintance. 13 days later I noticed a collection of bumps toward the bottom of my penile shaft and pubic area. I had recently trimmed and had just done a long hike. All the bumps were associated with hair follicles and I never saw any blisters. I used my phone camera to zoom in and it was clear the bumps were swollen skin. Over a year later I can still make out where the bumps were and the hair sticking out of them. I’ve never had anything recurring since then. 

I have oral HSV 1 and whenever I get cold sores it manifests in text book fashion so I know what to look for. . I was out of town and when I got back it had cleared up. My doctor said it was probably irritation from hiking and shaving. Does this sound like herpes?
