Hey guys, I've got a couple more questions.
I still do not know if I have herpes or not. I started itching about 5 weeks ago (about 10 days after having sex with a new mate, and also the start of my new job as a beach lifeguard)... started getting itchy bumps in the genital area about 4 weeks ago, which got worse for about a week. About 10 days ago they started to clear up. Now they're about 90% gone. Also, the glands around my pelvic bone are noticeably larger. I haven't had a day off for about 2 weeks. I've been trying to meet with a urologist, but its been very difficult logistically because I work everyday from 9 to 6 and live alone.
So, on to my question:
I have recently gotten similar bumps in random places. I have one on my butt (which I guess isn't that random) and one on my right arm, about an inch below my bicep and an inch from where my arm pit hair begins. I've never heard of herpes spreading to individuals' arms. Is this an indicator that what I have isn't herpes? or am i just in denial and looking for something to tell me its not herpes?
Also, the girl in question has been tested twice in the past six months and has come up "100% clean" as she says. I have been her only partner during this time.
If it's not herpes, what can it be? crabs? staph infection?
