Do I hav herpes
I noticed that i had a red rash near the bottom of my shaft that was half on the sack. The rash didnt seem to have any blisters or bumps just a rash. then a small little circle appeared closer to the top of my penis (just one) and i tried to pop it thinking it was pimple. It scabbed and went away. I have had no aches or pains or any of the bodily symtoms besides extremely mild itch once and awhile. I wear jeans without underwear often and think that it is an irritation from the jeans. But i dont know? I also noticed that in my groin where my thigh meets my midsection have cut that is taking a while to heal and smells kinda funny. I think this was due to streching since i have gained some weight recently? Whay do u ahve to say about this?
Signs of herpes tend to develop within 3-7 days of skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Herpes infections look like small blisters or ulcers (round areas of broken skin) on the genitals. Each blister or ulcer is typically only 1-3 millimeters in size, and the blisters or ulcers tend to be grouped into "crops." Usually the blisters form first then soon open to form ulcers. Herpes infections may be painless or slightly tender. In some people, however, the blisters or ulcers can be very tender and painful.
Sounds like jock itch, especially the smell and the location of the cut between the thigh and midsection. Doesn't sound like the typical herpes presentation. Though getting tested is never a terrible idea.
