Sores? - Herpes Message Board

cellcredit78 · 05-30-2005, 09:26 PM

I have been having unprotected sex with a girl for about 2 weeks now and I just noticed small raised bumps on my penis. These bumps look like pimples but can not be popped. They are not clustered like many herpes websites say and it doesnt look like many of the pictures of herpes. They seem as if the middle kind of opens up a bit and then they crust over. They are itchy/kinda painful at times. Right now I notice one little bump at the base of my penis, two bumps on one side, and one bump on the other side. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT....

If you currently have the sores, it would seem that the best thing to do would be to go have a swab done. Go to a clinic (ie planned parenthood)--- they reserve a certain amount of spots for situations like this--- tell them you think that have an STD and need to get in ASAP. Good luck... I hope it's nothing...

I hope its nothing also! I guess I am just trying to get some input on what it may be before I see a doctor. Maybe somebody can enlighten my spirits!

I totally understand----
I would love to say it's nothing and I truly hope that that is the case. In truth there ARE many things that can cause bumps anywhere on the body.
Any chance you've been able to talk with your partner about it? Any insight there? I know that seeing a doctor is that last thing that you want to do--- I
understand and I'm sorry if my reply wasn't upbeat and affirming of your not needing to worry. It really could be anything. Have you done anything different lately? Changed detergents? Has the sex been really rough? Have you worn an abrasive fabric?

I havent spoken to my partner about anything yet. I guess I want to know before I bring it up. We have been seeing each other for about 3 weeks now and whenever I am with her the sex is vigerous and lasts for 45min- 1 hour. This can be multiple times a night. So I would say yes to vigerous sex, but no to all the other things you stated. Like I said, I read up on Herpes through many websites and they all seem to say the same thing about the virus being "clustered" None of the bumps are clustered. They dont fill with fluid/puss/etc... They just seem to open a SLIGHT bit in the middle where it will begin to scab over. They are somewhat painful but not that bad. I have one on the right side of the shaft, 2 on the left side, and one at the base in the hairline. I noticed them two days ago and they are starting to get crusty.
