Possible autoinoculation of genital herpes?
For the past two months, I've been getting redness and burning/itching on my outer labia that comes and goes along with slightly itchy red bumps on my buttocks - I've never had any sexual contact but I do get frequent cold sores and it just so happens that I get the cold sores at the same time I get this genital irritation. I don't have any noticeable bumps on my labia and the bumps on my buttocks don't really look like blisters, but I know that genital herpes is sometimes mild like this. Do you think I have genital herpes? I don't know what else it could be, especially because it comes and goes at the same times that the oral herpes does.
