Could the first outbreak of herpes take 5 months after sexual exposure?
I didn't have unprotected sex and the last time I did was on the first of June. I may have inserted my penis without the condom once but I pulled it out immediately and put the condom on. The sores happened after I was doing some step ups working out, my thighs are fairly big. This was the second week of November. Could the friction be the cause of the open sores?

Hello,
It looks like a boil or a cyst. But if you have had unprotected intercourse then it can be due to herpes sore. You should keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics and warm compresses. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get cysts and herpes sores ruled out.
