i recently noticed some pimple like bumps on my butt checks. one very much looks like a pimple, a raised bump with a white head, the others which are on the other side are like in a group of 3 and do not have a white head. they have been there for a few day and only hurt when i apply preasure to them. i have been having general irritation for several months and have been noticing these pimple like bumps from time to time. i also had a sore between my testicals and leg that was pretty painfull, it lasted about a week. I have had 3 herpeselect blood test which have all come back neg. my questions are

1) has anyone gotten false neg. results from the igg based blood test?

2) The bumps, pimple i have been getting seem to leave scars. the skin over the infected area remains purplish, like there is blood under the skin. Does anyone get this following an outbreak?

3) The bumps heal over but for a time there is a hard deposit like bump under the area.

4) as far as general irritation, for 8-9 months, i have had irritation between my legs on my thighs and anus. i have been told this is not typical of herpes, but then again, from what i understand typical and actuall are blurred from person to person. has anyone had on and off irritation for such a long time??? it seems to clear up and a few days later its back??
