Question:
Hey,
First of all i'd like to ask if it is possible for symptoms to occur up to 6 months after contact?
and my symptoms are not following any of the normal info i read about herpes. I have gotten many small bumps on my penis and scrotom that can only be seen when I tighten the skin, otherwise they aren't visible. They are painless and have really not caused me any problems other then worrying. I also have got very small bumbs arond the corner of my mouth, they also can only be seen when i open my moth wide, not noticible when mouth is closed or open enough for talking etc.
Another thing different then normal symptoms, they haven't went away for quite some time now, 3 months at least. Over this time they have not gotten any bigger, smaller, more blistered, sore, or anything.
Does this still sound like herpes?
Thanks in advance for your help

Answer:
yes completly possible.
and why havent you gone to a doctor yet? 3 months-6 months of strange bumps....... oraly and genitaly......... i would have ran to the doctors.

Answer:
Is it sometimes normal for symptoms to last this long?

Answer:
Is it even possible it could not be herpes?, is there something else that can affect both genital and oral?

Answer:
its possible to be lots of things, but from you describing bumps, it can be anything. herpes symptoms can last pretty long. or it can be going away and coming back and your not noticing it...

go to the doctors. thats the only way you can find out if it is or isnt.

Answer:
Do symptoms always have to scab over before leaving?

Answer:
nope, theres tons of outbreak scenarios
scabing doesnt always happen
open sores doesnt always happen
anything, and everything, can be a sign.

Answer:
I've read that your first outbreak is worse then your following ones, but im assuming following outbreaks could be worse right?

Answer:
yup, it depends on your body, and the virus.
