Hello everyone I had sex around the middle of September 2010 with someone with a condom and I developed bumps around the inside of my lips if the vagina and was diagnosed with herpes because the emergency room Dr said it looked like , at the time it did burn when I urinated, and it itch but not that bad, so it went away and it never came back the same way, but now I have these quarter size bumps in my inner thigh, they were spread out and popped within 2 days ...white pus came out and blood came out as well when it was done draining it look like a hole was in my thigh, the bumps were really really hard making it painful to walk, these bumps would start out as dime sizes and become quarter size and when they were done draining it wuld leave tiny black spots...now another has arrived ugh please help me...and another ? Can herpes in a male look like a red rash in between the thigh and nuts?
Hello,
For about 2 months now, i've had a rep bumb right above my genitals, and it started getting bigger. I havent had sex yet. It started peeling after a while. It peeled to about 1 1/2 inches long and a 1/2 inch wide. Recently more and more small similar bumps have been appearing on my inner thighs. I really need to know what this is. Its keeping me from having intimate relationships! Please help me! Thank you!
The first picture looks like traumatized (picked) folliculitis. The second one is less obvious, but may well be the same thing. Neither one looks like herpes. Not everything that recurs is herpes. I suggest you leave the spots alone and unscratched so the doctor can tell what they are, apply bacitracin or neosporin daily, and ask the doctor whether it might be helpful to get a herpes 2 blood test--a negative one would be very reassuring to you, and might help you stop worrying.
Best.
