So join the ranks of the fallible people everywhere.
None of the activities that you describe sound like they present a risk of herpes to me. The bumps could be many things from a mild bacterial infection to a heat rash to a fungal rash. Have you had someone look at them for you, a professional I mean? Can you tell me more about how the rash looks?

the rash does not itch and there is no pain associated with it. The bumps on my skin are very small and measures about 5 inches by 5 inches on both legs. When I rub my hand across my skin it's smooth, but when I come to the rash you can feel the change in skin texture slightly. I teach at a school and had our athletic trainer look at the rashes and he felt it was nothing to be concerned with, of course I did not relate to him the exact situation as to what I did.
Does this help or is there something more specific you are looking for, I really appreciate your help on this. I'm having a hard time getting past my transgretion.
Could this be something else that I need to be concerned with?
Teri,
In addition there are no white heads on the rash, they almost look like tiny bug bites, but I don't think they are, they are condensed in small area very tightly compacted. I just have no idea, my fear it has something to do with the stripper or the massage person I talked about earlier.
Help!!!
Just watched an on-line video of herpes and the doctor indicated that you could catch it from simple skin to skin contact, is this true? If so how serious can this be? Is it possible that this is what I have? If so, is there anything I can do? I guess I'm just freaking out here, very concerned about my wife and my future.
It sounds more bacterial to me. I don't agree that normal skin to skin contact transmits herpes. Herpes virus can't get through intact skin like thighs or belly, it takes thin skin such as that found in the genital area. Genital to genital rubbing can transmit herpes because of the thin skin thing, but that's not what you are describing.
Can you send me the link to the video you watched? I would like to get things like this removed.
