Check the health pages at the top right of this page, and you will find a page for herpes.
Also, check mine and gracefromhhp's profiles. We both have journal entries about stds and herpes.

Herpes isn't filled with pus. The blisters do have a fluid in them, but its clear and runny, not pus.

aj i was also wondering if herpes has puss in it.like a ingrown hair when popped.like i experienced.the internet can be very confusing.some places say No! herpes is liquid filled blister no matter how it may be disguised unless its a rash of some sort..and others say Yes it does have puss.i read it had puss only one place though.i wish i didnt pop these ingrown hair like bumps so fast.to study how it was..being scared and impatient got the best of me thought.thank you aj.

I already said it didn't sound like herpes. I'm not going to say it again. IF your doctor didn't see these, then just go get it checked.

any type of repsone and support is great.thank you
my doctor didnt see them when they first appeared..i did phone him and he told me. "no to soon to be herpes" everything can just be really confusing with this. i applied the fluoconide 0.05% to it . it either didnt help at all or did help.im really dont remember but i know it did not make it worse.is this sounding like herpes. aslo when i popped them it didnt cause any skin irritation around it. my doc. seen it affter i popped and said it didnt look like herpes.but the bump was gone just a slight indintation in the skin. i was also wondering if u can answer these and try your best to answer the questions i poseted before.thank you aj.please reply.

Its not a good test, and you might regret the results.
However, you doctor doesn't think they are herpes, and he's seen them. Why are you so concerned?
The cream might help razor bumps if its just irritation. If its bacterial, you'd need an antibiotic treatment.

sorry aj..i was also wondering fluocoinide being ranked at the 2nd strongest steroid oiment.does this mean it is more likely to make a herpe outbreak worse? v.s a steroid gel that is ranked 7 or 6 for example.also why does a steroid cream effect herpes?
here is my reference of the Strengths of steroid oitments if interested.
http://dermatology.about.com/cs/medications/a/steroidgroups.htm
its shows the ranks of the different steroid oitments and Fluoconide 0.05% is listed here.
Is applying a steroid cream to a foreign bump such as the ones i described at the base of my penis a daring but good test of seeing if its possible herpes? and can this Anti fungal cream help against razor bumps. thank you aj for you time .

Shaving can cause ingrown hairs at any time, sex or no sex.
And by worse - think herpes on steroids. It can cause the sore to get worse.

1.god forbid this is herpes..would the skin around it be red or irritated because mine was not.
Probably.
2. i popped it and some puss came out like if i popped a razor bump. ive read herpes can look like a razor bump. so would it have puss in it also..or a liquid fluid that are in the typical herpe blister?
A blister, of any kind, has a fluid in it. A herpes blister doesn't have blood in it.
3.when i popped it it did not spread. and the fluocinode 0.05% helped i think.even after i stopped using it. ive read using a steroid on herpes will help up until you stop using it.thats when it will worsin.
I answered this. Using a steroidal cream will make herpes worse, not better, most of the time. Not spreading means nothing.
