Anal Herpes

[johnsmith217]

- I am a 30 year old male.
- Had unprotected sex with my girlfriend 40 days prior to symptoms
- Diagnosed with Candida & Thrush
- Self Diagnosed symptoms of Balanitis ( need to go back to dr to confirm )
- I am a strong candidate for Diabetes as it runs in the family
- Going through ALLOT of stress at the moment, from break up and moving

*** Symptoms all started the day we broke up as I was stressed out ****
                        23 days later is when I am writing this.

My candida is dying off and I am getting an itching feeling on my anus.  I looked in a mirror and not around my anus but after spreading my anus I was able to see some white zits ( size of a pin head ) , I say zits because I get cold sores on my lip and these didnt look anything like that or pictures of Herpes.

I decided to touch one and proceed to pot it.  Rather than a liquid coming out as with a cold sore a white paste pushed out as if it was a zit.

My question:

- Is this herpes?
- Is this part of my Candida?
- or is this natural in the rectal cavity?

ALSO:

With my Candida it looks like I have Balanitis where I had for less than 48hrs small red bumps underneath the head of my penis.I am circumcised.  

Question:

- The red bumps did not have any fluid in them, nor did they burst or scab over.  They just went away with in less than 48hrs.  Could this be herpes?

herpes won't show up and be gone in 48 hours.  be seen and get looked at.

And what about the red bumps on my penis?  Could herpes show up as red bumps and disappear in less than 48hrs with out any blisters forming, crusting or any fluid in the bumps?

odds are these are not std related. I'm guessing you just haven't looked this closely at your anal area on a regular basis.

follow up with your provider to get a proper exam and diagnosis.
