Herpes
Okay I have had this problem for a while now, I am scared to go to doctors and findout. I have red bumps on my penis head and right around it, I also have some on my thighs and buttocks. They are not clustered up and are really itchy. They usually don't hurt like google says herpes will, they just itch. I cant tell if its herpes or scabbies. My feet and hands and legs and head itch all the time and when I scratch theres usually a bump to appear. The bumps don't appear until I itch, anywhere. I have had sex with 2 women who did not get anything. Any suggestions to help me?
Thank you for your help. I just went and looked again and now just about my whole head looks like its dried out and scraped all up
Only testing would confirm your herpes status but from what youve described you do not appear to be having herpes outbreaks.
So if you don't think I have herpes what do you think it is with all the symptoms ive described to you?
As mentioned, under the skin bumps are not typical of herpes. We cant prescribe meds but when i have an itch is use some over the counter cortizone cream 1% with aloe. But it can thin the skin so i use it sparingly.
Oh, and i dialed to mention, i got oral from a girl and about 2-3 months later i got the bumps. The initial outbreak either started on the head or the thighs, i cant remember. I have had what i thought was strep throat and went to docs and they said it wasn't, but ive been that way years before the outbreak, does that mean anything? Also i do have a few bumps on my shaft as well.
So like I said ive had these bumps appearing on my legs and penis for a while now, but today after I posted this I looked again after scratching and it looks like a big cut on my head and is dry and cracked looking. It hurts when it rubs against my pants. Its got me so scared, I really appreciate your help. Please reply with more help. Also I have had a coldsore since ive had these bumps if that means anything. But my bumps last a lot longer than 7-10 days like the internet says herpes does. And how do I tell if its under then bumps? They kinda look/feel like pimples when I touch them but a lot redder and some don't have white heads.
Hi, herpes sores rarely show up on the head but more the shaft. They are not under the skin bumps but are open topical sores or razor cuts. What your describing dont appear as herpes at all but more inflamed pores. Test if your concerned or if your sexually active.
Because, I have no knowledge on the issue. I am here to get clarification on my own issue ... So am kind of in a similar situation ..
