herpes????
by geedos, Oct 10, 2007 04:50AM
Iam 25yrs old man and have been stressing about whether i have herpes.
I had unprotected sex recently and within a week of this a small lump under the skin of my pubes formed, this then began to scab over - it was itchy.
I then developed some spots on my upper thigh containing a white / yellow liquid which were very uncomfortable.
I showed the GP these and he said it was a bacterial infection and gave me some tablets.
The spots then began to disappear and the scab on my pubes healed, I thought no more of it until now as i have been itching in the same region that this occurred before, is this a second stage??
No further lumps or spots have appeared but I have been worried all the same. Am i being paranoid??
Can you tell me what your thoughts are?
Many Thanks

see a doctor who iknows more about sexually transmitted diseases,,,,which many are bacterial and cured by antibiotics...but if you don't kill the bacteria all the way....you haven't got rid of the infection......
and I bet a pack of condoms is cheaper than the medical care!
If you want to have oral sex with her protected....dental dam...they are available in colors and flavors...or saran wrap that is microwave safe/std safe
