Does this sound like herpes?

Hello,
I have a question regarding two lesions near my genitals. I had protected oral sex with a girl about 4-5 months ago. I am trying to think back on the day I did that and the only thing i can think of is that i caught genital herpes when her saliva fell past the condom and onto my skin. She then put her mouth on it to get the saliva off. I tested negative for hiv about 6 months ago and have not had any intercourse since. These lesions are red and itch rather bad at times. Hot water in the shower seems to make them itch worste. One is flat and red and the other is slightly raised when it gets itched or irritated.They dont seem to be going anywhere. I have had them for the past 4 months now. What might this be? does it sound like herpes?

Thanks for the comment Grace. I am planning to go to the doctor's next weekend if these lesions are still present. I'm not sure what else they could be but then again im not a doctor either. I do know that one of the lymphs in my leg were swollen back in November before i got these things. That is another big reason im thinking that when she put her mouth on my skin for that few seconds- that she may have given me hsv. But i suppose i will have to wait and see what the doctor says. Some of this sounds like herpes but other parts dont i suppose.

it's very unlikely you contracted hsv1 genitally from protected oral sex several months ago and are just now noticing symptoms. also herpes lesions won't stick around for 4 months either.

go and be seen and get these properly evaluated to find out what is going on.

stop back and let us know how your appointment went :)
