I have these pimple like bumps on my inner thighs.  I have not really been sexually active for some time now, I know this does not matter in contracting herpes, however; most sites say that an outbreak should occur between 2 and 20 days after initial contact with the virus.  These bumps resemble ingrown hairs, however; so does herpes.  I have had the bumps for about 4 days now.  The bumps are where my thighs rub together so I am also concerned it could just be from my thighs rubbing together and the warm summer weather.  I have been putting hydrogen pyroxide on the bumps as well as powder to eliminate any extra sweating that may be going on in the area.  These bumps have not broken open.  I have not tried to pop any of them, most of them do not have "heads" like a regular pimple would.  They are not soares and are not open lesions.  I am just looking for a doctor to read this post and give me thoughts or input.  The bumps have gone away somewhat but are still there.  I just want to make sure that this is not something I should worry about and how long I should wait to see if they go away.  I have not really been involved sexually or unprotected sexually.  Thanks!

I should also mention, that there is no burning sensation, no pain, no open cuts, not painful urination, and not painful to sit down.  I know that these are often common symptoms of herpes so i'm hoping that it is not herpes, however; I dont want to set myself up for a fall if you know what I mean.

this is not the doctor's forum. they do not come here to read posts. If you want their opinion, you have to pay for it.

You need to go and be seen. why you are thinking herpes right away I have no idea. it's most likely something else going on so go and be seen and get it evaluated properly.
