Question:
I'm 18 and I'm really confused right now. I had sex with a girl i really didnt know about 2 weeks ago (i wore a condom). 2 days ago i noticed what looked like a pimple between my anus and scrotum, it didnt itch or anything but it hurt a little..just as a pimple sometimes does. it no longer hurts at all but the color has grown a bit darker (a little darker than my skin color) and the skin around it seems to be peeling. im scared like hell that this might be herpes.. i dont believe that that part of me was ever touched by the girl. im going to go to the doctor for sure but i would please like to know if this sounds like a herpes outbreak to you? i put up a pic of it. please let me know what you think



Answer:
the pic just shows the spot in question not any private parts.. just incase youre scared to click

Answer:
To be honest, yes it does look like it could be herpes to me. But the signs can look so different in different individauls. Put your mind at rest and go to the doctor's. I really hope it's good news for you.

Answer:
yes, looks just like the only sore my boyfriend has ever got. see the doc to be sure

Answer:
thanks alot guys.. i made a doctors appointment for next week.. how long does an outbreak normally last? also im pretty confused about information ive found online. Everywhere it says that the first outbreak is the most severe, but on this forum that doesnt seem to be most peoples case. Could anyone clarify that for me?

thanks again

Answer:
no, the first outbreak is not always the worst.....it is soooooo different for every single person who has this. your symptoms and the length of time and severity of your outbreaks will be totally specific to you and your body...there really arent general guidelines to go by even though some people think so.........there are a lot of people who might get symptoms x, y, and z and it may tend to last for a set amount of time but there really is no "common" duration, severity, etc. It is so different in each person and you will learn how it will be for your body in the first few months to a year of having it.
