Herpes or heat/bump from sweat/friction?
I have noticed that I have been getting bumps on my buttcheeks. They don't hurt or itch or anything. Sometimes I poke and scratch them with my fingernail and then they will be sore of course. However, I have this one bump that is right inside the top of my buttcrack...Where the top of the cheeks meet...I noticed it just by checking things out one day and then I began touching it and such (and I still touch it numerous times a day just to see what's going on)...It is still a little sore...It is small in the morning, but by evening it's a bit larger. Is this just from excessive sweating...wearing thongs...and power walking in the summer heat in Florida...Today after I did my walk, I noticed that A LOT of sweat was trapped in that area. Should I be worried that it's not just a bump from sweat/heat/friction?
In the meantime, I've been freaking myself out about this...Depressed, can't sleep, my lower back hurts, I've lost 10 pounds, a headache here and there...Of course then I start thinking I have symptoms of something...Help please! :-(

You do know that your skin will react by blistering when dealing with friction. Instead of popping it you should be seen by your provider. At this point that you popped it makes it useless to show a provider for a proper diagnosis of herpes or something else. You need to not pop things when you are fearful of herpes. Wait until 12 weeks after your last sexual encounter and be tested. If you get symptoms again be seen within 24-48hrs for a proper work up.
On a side note. I do get small cases of cellulitus also. Don't know if this info helps. The skin around the open skin looks a little like I can peel it away.
I have an update on the bump. The bump was officially there for a week. Last night I wore thongs and went out dancing and got pretty sweaty. When I got home I took a look at the bump and I noticed a tiny white dot on the bump, so I thought it was ready to pop. Well I squeezed it (took a long time and even had to go into a position where the skin was tight I even heard the "pop" noise) and all that shot out on my finger was clear liquid. Where it popped I noticed open skin (this is where the skin burst?) So without taking a shower I just put some neosporin on it and went to bed. This morning, the bump has gone down, but the skin is broken open. I'm so worried. Please give me any insight. :-(
so how do you get rid of them cause i got them all ova my but other than there hidious look i don't even notice their there. but i can't stop sweating cause thats my job i take showers twice a day where clean clothes everyday i just want them to go away!!!!????
Well I looked over your previous question if this was the same encounter as that post then you had no risk. Protected intercourse is a low risk for herpes. Sounds like what you are having is from friction of your clothes or something of that nature. You are freaking out. Be seen for a proper work up but I think you will find it is nothing to worry about.
Additionally, I did have sex two weeks ago, but it was protected...Another reason I'm freaking myself out! ugh.
