Question:
my anus started hurting. then it became a little itchy. i started to scratch around it. small clustered bumps started to form next to it. the bumps are smaller than a zit, and dont stick out as much as a zit. the bumps are on the left side of my anus, very close to my anus. they are pinkish bumps. i looked at them yesterday, and little black dots formed on top of each of the pink dots. the black dots are really small. there is no pus inside. in the beginning, i thought it was a rash, until i saw those black dots.
ive never had anal sex before, but the bumps are next to my anus, and kind of far away from my vagina.

could it be herpes?? does is sound like it?

Answer:
sorry to say - may be warts? HPV - or HSV... get to the doc and get checked. Let us know.

Answer:
it's not warts, cuz it does not stick out. there are no blisters (no fluid inside). i mistaked it for a rash. it has lil flat bumps that are pink. it looks ugly because of the black dot in the middle. if you took the black dot away, it would look like a normal irritation.

anyway, i went to the hospital. one in family practice and one in ob/gyn. 3 doctors and 1 nurse saw me total. all are not sure what it is. they say herpes is a possibility, but i believe they only say that cuz its in anal area (but ive never done anything there before). they can't say what it is for sure, but they dont want to say it is not herpes (they dont want to get sued, or keep my hopes up). the ob/gyn doctor said she never seen herpes looking like that in her life. she said she would send me back to family practice. when i went to family practice (before i went to ob/gyn), the doctors had no idea what it was either.. they were all confused. so they got my blood sample and qtipped that area to culture it. now i just have to wait...

what do u guys think?

Answer:
what you are describing almost sounds like scabies. Scabies can be contacted just by flesh to flesh contact....curable, but a nasty pain in the butt...scuse my pun there....but make sure to get it checked out.

Answer:
i asked ta dr, and she said that scabies usually occurs on the body. u itch like crazy, and most of the itchiness occurs at night.

my symptoms are : sometimes it itches and sometimes it stings.

a nurse said that those are the symptoms of herpes. but then again, those are the symptoms for a lot of things.

one dr, who has never seen my anus, said that what i described to her sounds like folliculitis, but when i asked other drs who have seen my anus, they said it wasn't, but did not tell me why.

i'm really bummed out :(

Answer:
it's been a week... and i still havent gotten my results back. ob/gyn said they would give me the results in a week, and today is "a week" :(

Answer:
ah man....booty problems...(trying to make you smile here!) I still think that it "sounds " like scabies. my cousin got it on his hand once and that is what it looked like. Red bumps with little black spots in the middle. Highly contagious. (clothes bedding, you name it). Yukky little things. And going and getting checked by a doctor, especially in THAT region, is SO distressing.

I hope all is well. Good luck to you. Try not to worry or stress too much. I wish I knew of a home remedy that would help. :?

Answer:
its not herpes

Answer:
so it stopped hurting for awhile...5 days maybe. and now it hurts again!! it itched earlier today, and now it BURNS! :( it just looks pink around the anus area (no more black dots on clustered 14 tiny pink bumps of an inch wide), and it looks like its healing. there 1 little skin coming off though (not from any blisters or anything). WEIRD.

so ob/gyn lied to me. they said i'd know by wednesday (they said it would take 7 days). usually when they tell you a day, they tell you more days than the actual so you wont get pissed off at them.

family practice lied to me too. they said 10 days. 10 days would be friday. but no calls!

i can't think staight until i know my results. it's hard for me to study. i screwed up on my midterm because i was wasting my time looking at herpes pictures on google to find one that matched mine. :roll:
