Raised bumps a sign of herpes ? Posted: 04-14-08 14:14pm
hello all,
yesterday i started getting an itch around
the top of my foreskin, where it meets the
head. i didn't think much of it, until i
saw today there are two red raised bumps.
they aren't painful, and also aren't so
itchy anymore. i had unprotected sex with
a girl a couple of months ago, but had a
relationship with here for several months
and have only felt any discomfort today.
no headaches, aches or pains. i have had a
case of 'jock itch' recently, i'm hoping
its connected with that. the bumps are
quite large, slightly raised and slightly
red.
any advice please i'm really scared.

and neither her or her partner had any
signs....

Here is the deal about HERPES.
IF you have herpes...
You are going to have an outbreak WITHIN
2-3 weeks of exposure 99% of time. It is
rare to to get a "FIRST OUTBREAK" years
after exposure. You can have a FIRST
outbreak, and then not have a second OB
for 1-2 years, but your first outbreak is
going to be within 2-3 weeks of exposure.
You should see a doctor to get a PROPER
diagnosis.
