Question:
im not sure if what i have is herpes or not. a week or so ago i had this little bump pop up about an inch below my tan line and about 2 inches above my penis. to me it looked a little like an ingrown hair (i shave sometimes) it even had the characteristics of one. small bump growing to a large puss filled/painful bump. i finnaly bust it a couple times and drianed it. but now, after two weeks or so i still have a slightly painful mark. i have had simmalar bumps before, even before i had become sexually active, so i had put off going to the docs. i didnt think about it till the other day but i had had unprotected oral sex with someone and thought it could be herpes from them. i also had two small pin head sized sores pop up around my mouth (under my goatee hair line) aproxamatly 1/2 inch to an inch away from my lips. i had let my goatee grow out around that area about the time they started so yet again i thought nothing of it. im not sure if it is herpies or not cause i dont think i have any other symptoms. if someone can comment id be greatfull.

Answer:
i hate to say it, but it does sound like it to me. I know it can be transmitted any way...mouth to penis...penis to mouth... penis to vag whatever, it doesn't care. Since it keeps coming back it really sounds like it, but you won't know for sure unless you go to the Doctor. Are the ones on your chin blisters or more pimple like? I'm asking because I think my boyfriend may have it there too.

Answer:
Sounds like herpes Bishop. Get a culture done then you will know for sure. I have been a sufferer all my living life. Am 34 got it at birth. To me it sounds like the herpes virus. The test is most postive way to find out.

Answer:
hi, I noticed last Tuesday a small blister like pimple on the outside of my vagina, not thinking, i popped it and blood came out. The blister looked a lot like a pimple(white). Anyhow, it was gone. Throughout the day I had itching around my vagina but I chalked it up to me being shaved there. Wednesday evening I checked myself and there were now 3 more small white bumps, I am also having a discharge that looks like a yeast infection but the yeast infection medication has not helped this. I no longer itch down there but it burns, and stings. It does not hurt to urinate. It seems with ever day that passes there is a new bump. I have never had anything like this before. I looked at pics online of herpes, and one of the pics looked a lot like what I have. I am terrified, and feel so ashamed, and dirty. I too have asked my 'partner' if he had herpes and he lied to me. Planning on seeing the doctor Monday, but I have no doubt that it is indeed genital herpes!!! Just looking for someone to talk too, as I dont really have anyone else I can talk too about this.

howcouldithappentome,

Not to scare you, but your case reminds me of my herpes outbreaks especially when you mention the one bump one day then three the next day along with the irritating itch around the vaginal opening and the burning. Don't put off going to the doctor Monday, you really need to have that checked. And if your boyfriend gave it to you yet lies about not having it, maybe in the meantime you need to question your relationship with him because obviously he doesn't care about you or he would have told you he had herpes when you asked(better yet, he would have warned you about him having an STD before you two had sex unless he honestly doesn't know he has herpes).
