herpes or infected hair follicles
i noticed a rash where my groin meets my thigh, it was a bit itchy but the feeling went away a couple days ago, i was looking at it today and the skin is very dry, peeling a bit and some hair follicles appear inflamed, look like pimples. is this a mild genital herpes outbreak? i am a male and had protected sex with a women about 2 weeks ago, i had some burning sensations after the first week but they all but went away and came and went during times of high anxiety, but these hair follicles are really freaking me out.
where would first time outbreaks occur? the inner thigh and groin area is where the rash developed, i pulled at it and i think i broke the skin because it was split and moist and hurt when i touched it. is this because i keep pulling at it? the redness has gone away today, lasted about 7 hours
Where would these first outbreaks occur? I think I've been pulling at and looking to much and the skin broke more and it's a bit more irritated

Hi, what your describing doesnot suggest herpes from your last affair as the areas are not where first time outbreaks would occur.
