I don't want to worry you but I would definitely get them diagnosed as soon as possible, my first partner nd I were together along time and I felt I could trust him I had never slept with anyone and he said he was clean, the only thing is that the doctors do not test for herpes unless specifically asked. Two or so years after splitting up I met my current partner we had been together a couple of months when we slept together, the next day I woke up with a blister just on the outside of my 'opening' it popped and created a crater like hole, I immediately went to the doctors to be diagnosed, I received 3weeksworth of antibiotics and had the most terrifying talk with my partner, he was soo supportive and he's stuck by me for 3 years now, he knows he may get it, but he said atleast it was his choice to make and nt forced on him. We always wear condoms now, but when we do decide to have children we will go without while trying. I hope this helps, you really must talk to your wife about it though, all the best
sorry but there is only so much we can do. sitting at home trying to self diagnose won't get your accurate answers. As I said, follow up with a dermatologist for better answers.

Another thing to note, I have never seen anything like this (or felt the pain) unless right after sex. Sometimes I feel my wires hair and it's not as bad but sometimes it scrapes my skin up. Is it possible that this is a bacterial infection that was allowed to take place because of my skin being opened up and aggravated. The pain is only when we have hard sex along with he hair. Also the 2 small blister things appeared to me like an infected hair follicle and none of the larger boils are close to eachother or touching.
Today some of the redness has went away and the skin is not as sensitive as yesterday, nor itches.
It may seem like I am fishing for a "it sounds like folliculitous or staff" but if I were to go into a clinic to get this checked out and it was herpes I would be kicked out of the country and separated from my wife.
Is there any way I can get a better idea if this is herpes besides a culture or blood test?
Thanks again.
Thank you for the response, I guess I can't really describe what I'm experiencing but from what I've read what I have doesn't look like the pictures of herpes, more like pictures of boils. I will finish 5 days of the mess, soak in a hot bath tonight and reassess in 3 days.
Thanks for the quick response!
odds are neither you nor your wife have ever been tested for herpes. could these be herpes? yes they could be. only way to know is to be seen and get proper testing done.
a dermatologist would also be helpful because if this isn't herpes, you have some skin issues that need more properly dealt with.

Forgot to mention the large pimples I've gotten my whole life, I'm assuming they are indexed hair follicles or ingrown hairs.
