Herpes ? I am scared

I had protected sex (multiple partners) in last couple of months. Last time was 4 weeks ago.
I have developed wart like things on palms of both of my hands. Since then I visited my dermatologist and he used
the Liquid N2 removal method to get rid of them. He wasnt absolutely positive that they were warts and asked me to revisit in 6 weeks. Thats that.

All this while I have been feeling tingling on random places all over my body. Note that I have been getting anxious reading about the STD's on the internet the same time.

Then 3 weeks ago I saw 1 small (pimple like) blister on my inner thigh that was puss filled. No pain. It broke off and healed leaving a black mark. Similar one appeared in closer vicinity filled with puss . broke and healed leaving a black mark. Then I started seeing a little bump between my legs (close to the lower end of my penis but not on it). I observed this bump go from filled with nothing to filled with pus over 3-4 days and then it broke this morning. The blister is still there. This blister was not painful but could feel a little if I touched it.

Then on my mouth below nostrils a pus filled pimple appeared that broke off. I applied some antibiotic cream.

I am scared...what is it? Is this herpes? in the scare I found the www.tstd.org on the web and went ahead with their complete STD panel. Results are awaited. they do the IgG type specific on both HSV I and HSV II.

Hepres experts, Please help me understand what is going on and how to tie these symptoms together ?
I plan to revisit my dermatologist as soon as I can get an appointment.

Thanks.

Grace,

Sorry for me coming back and asking questions again and again..but the symptoms dont go away completely.

So I had the redness etc on penis head...I used the doctor given alcortin and it went away.
I had already finished my keflex course.

Now today I noticed a little pimple on left inner thigh.

I am not sure what is going on but something keeps happening down there and I get very worried...due to my earlier risky behavior...mow for almost 2 months I havent had sex...

Please suggest ...

also should I visit my dermatologist again?

Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

this doesn't sound like anything that can't wait until your regular dermatologist is back in town.

could be fungal or could just be irritation.

Grace my tests from lab came negative.

Then I visited my dermatologist as you suggested and he prescribed keflex.
I have been taking it for last 8 days and will soon finish the course in 2 days.

My dermatologist is on vacation now until 8th April.

Since a day before yesterday, during night I had ejaculation while asleep...(I have refrainedfrom sex since last 1.5 months) then since then my penis head and skin under forehead  has been red and there is lot of itching.
I had alcortin (my dermatologist had given me). I am using it on penis and underskin since tonight.

What is causing this redness? and itching? I cant notice any blisters or anything but the itching is fairly high.

Please advise iof I need to see another doctor since mine isnt in town until 8th.

this isn't all herpes going on on this many body parts.

going to be seen this week again if the best course of action. Sounds like you picked up a bacterial skin infection and with the rates of MRSA in the community, well worth a proper follow up and treatment.

the std screening through tstd is good but only if enough time has passed.  You paid a lot of money and the only testing you had that was going to be accurate was for gonorrhea and chlamydia. All the rest of your testing needs repeated in 2 or 3 months if you want accurate answers for syphilis, herpes and hiv.
