Weird Red Bump, genital wart? herpes? Posted: 11-27-07 21:31pm
ok i dont know what this is, and i'm
hoping its neither herpes or hpv
around thursday last week i noticed a soft
red bump about half the size of a pencil
eraser, its about 1 inch away from my
anus, and almost 2 inches away from my
vagina. its perfectly round, soft and
tender to touch, but does not hurt at all.
i've thought everything from herpes, to
genital wart, to pimple, to ingrown hair.
its been just over 5 days and it hasnt
opened or weeped, nor has it gone away,
its still the same. so i tried to pop it,
or drain it of fluid...or something.
poking it seemed to irritate it and it got
red but did not change. nothing drained,
nothing scabbed.
i had also a yeast infection (or bact.
infection) on saturday...2 days
later...but that went away with treatment
quickly.
so i dont know what the bump is! i'm
panicking that its an std but i'm at a
loss as to what. i'm telling myself that
its not herpes because it hasnt opened or
pussed or scabbed or weeped in over 5
days, and i have no other symptoms and am
in a monogamous relationship with someone
who doesnt have herpes. i'm also trying to
tell mysel its not a wart either because
its not whitish or hard, and its by
itself. though my partner does have a wide
variety of hand warts...maybe he gave it
to me?
i've heard of groin cysts, i dont know if
thats it either.
anyways, i dont really have time to make
it to a doctors office lately, i work 2
jobs. if ANYOne can help me out i'd really
appreciate it. i keep waiting for this
thing to go away...or change...but
nothing, and i'm scared.

Coming from someone who has genital
warts.That is what it sounds like.Usually
genital warts are painless.I remember I
had just only one and I went to the doctor
and that's what it was.You need to make
time and see your doctor.Your doctor can
tell you what it is just by looking at it.

I have herpes and it is not a sore. The
sore would pop, drain and scap on its own.
Dont worry yourself about herpes. But I
am not sure what it could be. I had
something similiar. It stayed for like 2
months. It was just like a small growth
of skin. No bigger than a half a pencil
eraser. It didnt hurt or look like
anything. It eventually went away. Maybe
its just a skin growth
