Does this sound like herpes? PLEASE HELP!!!

I gave oral sex to a guy last year about December. The next day I was really itchy in my vaginal area.

Skip about 6 months.. I stopped having my period.

I went to the OB/GYN.-- my pap smear came back abnormal.

The whole summer my buttocks broke out in zits. (what I thought were maybe)

This last time I had one zit on my buttock, but my legs tingled. And inbetween my thighs just hurts really bad. I thought it was from walking (because I walk everywhere) but it isn't going away. My toes and hands feel tingly. I'm kind of fatigued. I haven't had anymore zits on my buttocks though.

I went back and got another pap smear and it came back normal.

My body is just itchy. I don't know what this could be from.

My legs just kind of tingle though.

Sorry this is long. But does this sound like it could be herpes at all?

Thanks!

Your pap smear is completely unrelated to herpes. It only checks for changing cells which could indicate cancer. That's the ONLY thing it screens. If you want to be screened for herpes, you have to specifically request it.

Are you thinking that you got genital herpes by giving oral sex? If you contracted herpes that way, you would contract oral herpes. Not genital herpes.

Herpes will not cause you to stop your period. There could be many many explanations for this in healthy women of childbearing age, most commonly pregnancy or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Again, your normal pap doesn't rule out any possible causes for amenorrhea.

The pimples could be herpes, but doesn't sound like it based on what you said. Are you within a healthy weight range? Several of the "symptoms" you mentioned are linked with being overweight. If your pimples come back, I would have the doc culture them within the first day or two. You can also get a type specific blood test, but a positive result will not tell you where your infection is, so it could be an old oral or an old genital infection and you could only make your best guess.
