Herpes
by meme123, Jan 25, 2007 12:00AM
Hello, ok so i have a very impotant question, k i havnt had sex with very many people at all, and me and this guy jsut started to have unprotected sex. I noticed after that when i went pee it would really burn, so i deccided to check my self out. i notcied there was about 3 or 4 reallly little red bumps that loook excacly like razor burn or w.e but they dont hurt at all the touch or n e thing and they havnt gotten worrst at all they kinda seem to be going away. Also i must add i have been using this cheap body wash to clean down there, and it seems like the bumbs are really dry when i touch them. I am freakin out that this is Herpes, but from what i have read on the internet is that herpes are painful which this isnt except me going pee, but i can feel the burning sensatiion by my pee whole or w.e not where the pumps are. And i have not been sick or n e thing latly and the guy i had sex with says he is clean so i dunno is there n e way this could be herpes? I have an appointment to get checked out but iots not for another 5 days so i kinda need somethign to give me an idea. Also i should add that i am on my period too so i dont knwo if that has somethign to do with it either or what?

I'm glad you're going to check it out in person, because that's the only way to be really sure. But what you say you have really doesn't sound like herpes. It's probably blocked pores or irritation. So just treat the area gently until you see the one who's going to check you out.
Take care.
