In late June, 2008, I had unprotected vaginal sex with a girl. Approximately three weeks thereafter, I noticed a reddish looking mole on my groin. My doctor prescribed aldara out of concern that it may have been HPV, after which a red rash developed. He stated that it was probably just a reaction to the aldara and not to worry since the rash went away, although the mole still remains. Approximately one week ago, several red bumps appeared on my inner thigh, which respond fairly well to cortizone. They still itch like hell and hurt a little and have been there for almost a week.
What are the chances that the red bumps could be herpes, considering no signs appear on my penis or the shaft of my penis?

I can not be 100% certain, I was under the impression that is was called genital herpes for a specific reason. There is a herpes community on this site which you should visit and you can probably find the answer there.
You can always go and get tested too.

How sure are you that herpes cannot appear on the inner thigh? Not to contradict you but my limited internet research implies otherwise.
