Herpes?/Time frames???????

The last time i had any sex was over 3 months ago. about two weeks ago i shaved my groin. a few days later i have a red bump on the upper part of my groin. Its only one red spot. it doesnt hurt or anything. it looks like a ingrown hair. How long would herpes take to show up is 3 months to long? and if it was a primary outbreak would it only be one red bump? How soon for an inital outbreak?

No, I don't have any symptoms due to my herpes. Most people are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.

It's fine if you don't "believe" in chronic pain states, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. You can also choose to believe the Earth doesn't rotate around the sun, but that wouldn't make your belief true, would it? If you have symptoms that don't disappear and that cannot be explained by a medical professional as due to a specific clinical condition, that's a chronic pain condition. They are treated with antidepressants (for obvious reasons).

Why don't you move on to the chronic pain forum or the urology forum? (If there is one.) Maybe they can help you. You are obviously done with the herpes angle, since you have zero clinical evidence of having herpes. Since you refuse to listen to what anybody here tells you, I'd say there's nothing more that can be offered to you in this realm, wouldn't you?

yeah i was asking you if you ever had that do to herpes.......i havent went to many doctors....my one doctor thinks i have it.....my general, the urologist doesnt have any idea....he figured all my problems was prostatitis so gave me meds twice now for it.....so i guess i dont know at this point.....just trying to see if people with herpes experience this pain......i read this is a symptom. Also i dont believe in that pelvic chronic syndrome...i dont think there is such a thing

You talking to me? I don't have any buttock or leg pain. Well, my hip hurts a little from a 23-miler I did a couple of weeks ago. Just a little ITB stuff, nothing 25 NSAIDs a day won't cure. :o)

You ARE getting answers from your doctors! If doctor-shopping for multiple opinions comes up with "no" answers, that is your answer - it is not physiologic in origin. It sounds like you have psychogenic groin syndrome, or whatever that depression-based chronic condition is in the pelvic region. Must suck to be you.
