this sounds exactly like what I have but I havnt been able to get rid of it!!!
Thanks Grace,
Went to a walk in clinic and the doctor there also thought of jock itch rather than herpes. He gave me some anti fungal cream to apply to the area.
I guess I'm still slightly concerned with the itching and slight redness in certain spots but he seemed confident herpes would no have this appearance.
Hope the cream works.
Thanks,

yes fungal infections cause redness and bumps.
you can have herpes symptoms anywhere in the entire boxer short area regardless of the areas uncovered during sex.
Thanks for the quick response Grace,
Hope you don't mind I just have another couple questions related to your post and other things i've thought of since posting.
Wouldn't jock itch produce some redness, bumps, etc? I now have very slight redness in the area described before (probably from always checking)
If someone were to be exposed to HSV is it more likely to appear on the shaft or tip of the penis rather than the base, pubis? Even if the exposure was protected sex?
Thanks again,

sounds more like jock itch than it does herpes.
lesions appear within a day or two of the tingling.
if you need the peace of mind you'll have to wait 3 months after the encounter for herpes igg blood testing.
