Question:
Okay, here's the story ..

The first time I had sex with
this girl, I pulled my penis
through my folded hole in my
boxer briefs.

The next day or so, I noticed
I had, what looked like, a bunch
of ingrown hair only at
the base of my penis.

I concluded these bumps were
from the boxers being so snug
around my penile base and the
friction of the sex.

So, I decided to pull the hairs
out for whatever reason. The
pores healed just like any other
ingrown hair I've had before on
my arms or legs. Most with minor
scabs that disappeared quickly.

After that "outbreak," I continued
to have sex with the same girl
for about 4 weeks. We decided to
stop having sex and stopped.

About 2 weeks after I stopped
having sex with her, I've noticed a
tingling sensation at the base of my
penis, right where the hairs where.

The skin seems to be slightly rashed,
but no pussed filled blisters. There are
small red bumps, but no pussing or
indents.

I checked all the pictures of herpes
I could find on the internet and mine
don't match with any of them.

I was thinking maybe the tingling I
was feeling was because of mentally
thinking about it all the time, like I
has herpes.

Well, that's it for the story.

I'm looking for any insight regarding
my condition. Anything about seeing
a doctor is not nessecary. I know that
if it's really a problem, which it could be,
that I should see a professional.

For now, I care only for personal opinions
from people with herpes, or that have vast
knowledge surrounding the virus.

Thanks.

Answer:
Hi,

I think... that my comment doesn't mean anything (you know why :) ), but.....

Everyone experiences herpes symptom differently, but in my opinion, herpes hurts! Especially when you get outbreak for the first time. Before you even suspect if it is herpes, herpes would tell you that something unusual is happening and you've got to go see a doctor as soon as possible. That's herpes to me.

But there ARE people who have no symptom or very mild symptom. I got it from a person who had no perceptible symptom.

So... well... what can I say...
I guess, as you know, there is only one way to find out the truth..

Best wishes..

Answer:
Yes, yes, I should
consult my physician.

This outbreak doesn't
hurt at all though.

If I had to rate the 'pain'
on a scale from 1 to 10,
I would give it a 3.
Which is nothing more
than a slight itch.

The only reason why I
choose not to see a Dr.
is because I'm under my
parent's insurance and I
don't want them to freak
out if they get some bill
that say I was in for STD
screening. I don't even
want them to know about
this, period.

I guess I'll just have to
decide whether or not I
want to face the music.

Thanks.

But if it gets serious, you should go get professional help. You know... your health is much more important than anything that you may have to deal with because of the bill... OK?

I am keeping an eye
on my condition and
researching the topic
throughly.

As soon as there's any
major complications, I'm
in the Doctor's office for sure.
