herpes Syphilis HPV? Need help please

Hi, I have been diagnosed with HPV about a year ago and have been using Aldara succesfully.  Recently I had a small out break and I guess I used too much as I had a bad reaction.  I got a rash and what apeared to be lumps.  I read online that is is fairly common?  After I stopped the use, everything returned back to normally within about a week or so.  After anouther week i got a fleshlump on the top of my scotum.  i assumed  it was HPV and tried to treat it with salicilc acid and then applied the aldara.  Went away in about 2 weeks.   Recently I have developed more lumps.  Not sure what they are.  They start out small and then get larger to about 6mm.  I seem to be getting more and more of these.  any idea what this could be?  From my reseach online, it sounds like syphilis?  I had an HSV test about 1 week ago before the lumps apeared and it came back negative.  Should I get retested?

Thanks

Bob

It is not syphilis.
You should see a Dr for the lumps, let him/her examine you.

could it possibly be herpes?  The closest photos I found that look like like it online are second stage syphilis though.  A bit worried,if its herpes but I got tested just a little while ago and it came back negative

Also I just wanted to add that skin colored lumps see to originate from under the skin.  When I touch them, its as though there is hardened flesh underneath.  Could it just be ingrown hairs?

really worried

Thanks
