very worried about thigh rash

[jdn03]

about a month ago i developed a condition on both thighs.  the right thigh is the primary problem.  i woke up in the middle of the night and felt and itch...not thinking, i scratched it.  went back to sleep.  the next morning i noticed a series of red bumps on my right and left thighs.  about 4 on the left and a larger area (about 2 in. in diameter) on the right.  Since then they have not itched and are not painful.  they were raised slightly but did not have any pus or fluid in them.  they redden after a shower but in the morning are less pronounced.  the right side has begun to heal...no longer bumps but still red patches (again esp. after a shower).  no new ones have shown up.  however, it's been a month and am worried...taking a long time to heal.  should note that i've been sweating excessively during sleep due to work/life stress (dont know if this matters).  i've been tested for all stds although the results havent come back as of yet.  have been worrying that it may be herpes or something.  my last sexual encounter was about a week before the rash/bumps (used protection but not protected oral sex).  there has been nothing on my genitals, no pain, burning, discharge or problems urinating.  any info would be much appreciated.

thanks. i already have some hot wax, because i was going to try before but chickened out.

Yes, try waxing...it does hurt, but it lasts longer.

i get razor burn (i think)on my bikini line. i have tried different soaps, different shaving creams, nothing seems to help. it doesn't irritate me but it just doesn't look good in a bikini. any suggestions of how to avoid getting the razor burn.

also...the bumps are clustered a bit on the right(beginning about an inch or so away from the crotch) but sporadic on the left...maybe a half inch to an inch aprart and not in any linear order.
