herpes or am I a hypochrondiac

so I have been a little freaked out lately.  background info, I just got out of a long term relationship, never had anything ever in my life.  few weeks ater we broke up I met another girl who I have been in a relationship with for about a month.  we had unprotected sex.  turns out I ended up getting chlymedia (sp?).  scary as hell for me but got both of us taken care of.  about two weeks later we continue to have sex.  I noticed one day I had a bad rash on the bottom side of the shaft of my penis and a few bumps on my scrotum.  it itched very bad and when scratching it was relieved.  I figured it was from having sex and now fully washing the area afterwards so I took two showers daily and scrubbed the daylights out it and it went away 2 days later.  still worried about it I started to notice little pimples on my inner thigh area and outside thigh area.  my right thigh there were three bumps that itched, could not tell if they're blisters or not but they have been there a few days.  there was another pimple on my left lower thigh area by my knee cap.  I actually popped it and a hard transparent substance came out so I figured it was a pimple.  the girl I am seeing now says that she has poison ivy.  I've tried not to touch her but it is pretty much in random places, inner thighs, arm and towards her foot.  next thing I know I am starting to have same symptoms.  I had a patch then it went away immeduately.  now I have a really small area that looks like poison ivy on my front thigh.  also have 3 more red bumps on my left outside thigh kinda grouped but not extremely close.  they look like they may have had a blister but not sure.  they do itch but very mildly.  funny thing is that I do not have anything in my crotch area.  my scrotum does itch sometimes but I figure thaat is normal... no abnormalties.  also yesterday I felt really sick, throat was sore but I also was having sinus drainage and allergies.  later I was very tired and took a nap then woke up with a headache.  I don't know if this is all coincidence bec

this doesn't sound like herpes. you were seen and they didn't feel it was herpes either.  follow up as recommended by me and the rn who saw you.  planned parenthood charges on a sliding scale and sees males if you have one near you. otherwise contact your local health department to see what options are available in your area.

went back to get my test results from when I orginally went.  tested negative for everything but they did not test for herpes.  she was busy but said she wanted to take a look at it anyways.  she said it doesn't look like herpes but she said it may be something else and she looked concerned.  she said she wouldn't bother doing a test but told me to go see a doctor (she is an rn).  don't have insurance is the bad thing.  I still feel like I have herpes for some reason.

sorry I am doing this all from my phone so may have registered myself as female accidentally.  does this sound like herpes.  the one spot I popped the substance out was just by itself there is nothing else around it.

less confusing if you change your gender to male :)

you need to go and be seen. your description of being able to pop hard white stuff out of this rash makes it sound like it's molluscum. It could be many other things too.

You also were just on antibiotics for chlamydia so a fungal infection might also be going on. also could be contributing to your tummy issues too.

also with herpes what are the odds that both of us are having kind of the same symptoms at the same time... atleast the symptoms of the patches that look like poison ivy.... sorry for all the replies I am freaking out and think I am actually making myself feel even worse as time passes by.

because I had been looking up symptoms all day long.  today my right lower lip started to feel tingly and now I think there is a bump.  I go to the doc tomorrow but here is the problem.... if I do have herpes it will ruin everything that I have been working towards.  I worked so hard to loose over 50 lbs to get into the airforce and was planning to join this summer.  if I am infected the military will find out probably due to my medical history if I do get tested tomorrow.  I am so worried that I will come back positive that I may not even get tested until I am in the airforce and tell them later.... any insight would be helpful
