herpes or bug bites

Hi,

I have itchy bumps on my testicles. They are not blisters so I am not sure if they are herpes or not, or if they are just bug bites. currently i have 3 infected areas on my testicles and 1 on my thigh near my testicles.

I have photos, but dont see anywhere i can post it.

Please give your professional opinion

These do not sound like herpes lesions. Your Dr  didn't seem to think they are and judging from how fast they clear up I don't  suspect hsv either. You might want to see a dermatologist

The first one occurred on my penis. Not in the head. I'm not circumcised. That lasted maybe 3 days then I had another at the bottom of my testicles towards the back. That lasted maybe 5-6 days then I went to the doctor. He said that it didn't look like herpes.  Then that night when I went to shower I had 3 small bumps on my left testicle 1 on my right testicle and one on my inner thigh near my junk.

I hope why you guys can understand why I am so worries. All this happened in a span of a week.

They do not sound like herpes lesions. How long have they been there? Herpes lesions progress quickly from bumps to fluid filled blisters. This takes a day or two

It's  hard to san what it is by the description. I would have your Dr take a look. When was your last sexual exposure?
