Herpes?

symptoms include 3 red lumps at the lower end of my shaft. The lumps are warm to the touch and the largest one scabs. They are very firm and have no pain. They also release a small amount of pus. Iv had these for about six months and they wont go away. I also have firm "strings" under the surface of my shaft skin. They also release puss when applied pressure (more so than the raised lumps). These firm strings typicaly have an individual hair coming from them. The last symptom is a swollen lymph gland on my inner right theigh. every month or so i can extrace puss from it. this has gone on for a long time and im very imberassed.
PS the firm strings under my shin range from 1cm to 3cm long

Sure it could.  But why not get it checked out and sorted?

Herpes bumps would never persist for 6 months.  It sounds like you might have some other sort of infection going on.  Best bet would be to show it to a Dr.

The swollen lymph node could be a response to the infection.  That would be common.

While I don't expect that you have herpes, I do think you should get yourself checked out.
