Herpes or another cause of outbreak?

Hello all,

This is my second question regarding this issue. I am a 20 year old man that is not very sexually active. About a week ago I had this experience with a girl where we rubbed our genitals together in only our underwear, knowing she already had herpes. A few days later, I noticed pimple-like breakouts above my penis around where my pubic hair grows. These pimples tend to be irritating, itchy, and burning when flaring up. Day after day, the breakout doesnt seem to get better, and in fact has spread to the other side of my pubes. Does this suggest herpes at all? If not, I am very curious as to what this can be. Im not noticing any blisters, just pimple like red spots with the occasional white looking pimple.

I have received an answer previously stating that herpes doesnt pass through clothing, but I am curious as to what is wrong then....

Thanks

This is an online herpes forum. I already answered this. Hsv does not penetrate clothes. You could have a fungal infection, follicitis...etc. see your Dr or Dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. It's not herpes
