can i transmit herpes to my genitals?

by crestt, May 10, 2008 02:20AM
i have oral herpes, and recently this week ive been getting no sleep so i have been very tired and stressed. i felt an outbreak coming on so i put on medication at the first sign of the outbreak. and as the week went on i continued to treat myself if any signs of an outbreak came up. but today i noticed 2 small bumps around my pubic area that looked like herpes. they were close to eachother like herpes usually is and i also spotted another smaller bump, but it wasnt raised, on my pelvis area. do you think i could have transmitted herpes to my genitals? i no you said it was unlikely but i read that it was possible though. i shave my pubic area time to time as well, so can this be just from shaving? ive noticed some redness where the pubic area and the penis meets also, mayb also from shaving? i dont know what to think. but i am very worried. please let me know what you think of the situation. could the herpes have moved to my genitals now?

dosnt herpes hurt bad?  

by auntiejessi, May 10, 2008 09:54AM
Herpes doesn't always hurt.  In fact, 90% of those who have it don't know they have it because they have very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.

That said, its unlikely you would transmit herpes to any other part of your body, as you have antibodies to protect you against doing that.

It could absolutely be from shaving.
