please help?

Sorry I'm new to this and not sure if I'm doing this right but hopefully someone can help me out.  

I understand that the best way to get answers is to see a doctor but I dont have any crazy thing going on that would help them treat me. i was reading about my white coated tongue when I came accross some possible causes which included herpes, hepatitis and other STD's so naturally i started freaking out.  My last hook was with an unkown partner was 33 days ago in which I had protected sex with.  About 2 weeks later I felt a growing pain like ache in my right leg which only lasted for about one night (started before bed).  I was wondering how long muscle aches last when exposed to herpes virus.  I'd also like to mention I have had some itching in the genital area as well for about 2 weeks  but no warts discharge or anything of that nature.  Any information would be helpful Thanks everyone

1.Does herpes cause muscle aches that may last only one day?
2. is white coated tongue a symptom of herpes?  I got my tongue tested a week ago and it came back negative for oral thrush; however I did brush my tongue real well before going to the doctor (hope that didnt mess the test up).
3. I got a oralquick HIV test 30 days after my last hook up and i was wondering how accurate the test would be because i wasnt sure if i waited wnough time?

He just said that doesnt look like an STD or herpes but didnt say what they could be.  I'm really confused about them because to be honest they dont look like ingrown hairs  to me and i havent seen them before.  When i did try and pop a few the "pimple" came off and bled but a few days later there was another shiny raised spot in the same area.  Its only on the right side of base and scrotum.  Thanks for the quick responses

yes i have...i thought maybe it could be that but i just havent seen anything that really looks like it.  They are mostly on the scrotum and base of the penis but there are one or two on the shaft where i didnt think hair grew which is why i ruled that out.  they are all pretty tiny and hard to see if you dont know where they are, but clearly noticeable under a light and they havent grown for 3 weeks. I wasnt sure if warts typically got bigger over time and how long they last.  Sorry i know its hard for you to know what it is without seeing it for youself.  Hopefully its normal and all the back and leg aches are in my head.  I guess the problem is, most pictures on the internet are all extreme cases so its difficult to determine what it is.

i forgot to mention too, there are no visible hairs in the middle, they cant be popped, no rash/red area underneath an no white center.  they arent clustered but are pretty much in the same area.  Plus, wouldnt 3 weeks of having them indicate something worse such as warts and not folliculitis?

Yes, they could be warts.  Did the doctor think they could be?

You should get these checked again.  We can speculate for the next month and we still won't be able to come up with anything conclusive.  No one can diagnose you without you being seen by a doctor.

I agree they could be wrats but now im freaking out again.  I might as well ask this too.  I have 2 sicolored lines (brownish gray in color) on the head of my penis which appears to start near the opening running down to the ring.  They are on opposit sides, dont hurt, and are not raised. They arent extremly dark but definitley noticeable.  Is this an indication of anything?  and will a urethra swab and urine test be enough to test for syphillis?  Thanks again for your responses
