Wow dude. Talk about sharing your pain.

I have the EXACT PROBLEM. Minus the v-card and fear of rejetion.

I honestly can't tell you how to treat it. I first thought it was a staph but my mom told it wasn't because she had something similar along with my brother having the same (meaing that it may be hereditary).

Keep showering daily and thoroughly exfoliate the skin. Also see a doctor or dermatologist. Sweating would be a factor especially if it sits there for a while. Any form of bacteria will cause an infection to the skin.

If you find anything out please let me know. I'm in the same boat

Yeah dude, I've had it years before having sex. Even the damn scars.

I wasn't conscious of it at all though. You see, I had sex with my girlfriend of 7 months (on Monday) in the dark. I guess now thinking back on it, it did help "disguising" the "evidence." But not only do I have them on my ass, but I got them all over and around my thighs. My girlfriend does know about them. We're close enough to share everything. She's simply just concerned with my health. She just wants me to get it checked and dealt with but it's not priority number 1 if you know what I mean.

If sex is on your mind, let me just leave you with some advice, DO NOT go sticking your jimmy in just anybody. Yeah, everyone says "have fun, you're young." But at least for the first time, let it be right with someone you truly care about and who cares about you. I'm in so love with my girlfriend and it's such an overwhelming feeling to look back and say "my first time was with her"

wow thats great, that helps with the self of steam thing a little! btw i'm a girl
the reason why im so self concious is that i kind of have an image at school and all the people that i know, i'm scared that if i actually with anyone(witch i doupt becuase i' not that kind of girl ) that word will get around and ill become a laughing stock=O!!!!

Oh hahaha sorry. I just assumed you were a guy for some odd reason.

Well I believe what I said still applies with social status. If you're not that kind of girl then you shouldn't have much to worry about because if you follow what I told you about waiting for the right GUY (and I mean the RIGHT guy because there are A LOT of jerks out there), then you should have nothing to worry about. He wouldn't exploit you to anybody because he'll care about you and your feelings especially since this is a sensitive issue for you.

Sex isn't everything. Yeah, it plays a huge factor in closeness with your loved one but if your still a virgin then don't sweat it. No one will laugh. I'm 18 now and a senior in high school and I didn't lose it til my summer going into senior year when I was 17. Not to mention my girlfriend who had just graduated from high school and lost it to me when she was 18. She's now 19. Don't pressure the v-card. It'll be good til you lose it. THE RIGHT WAY!!!
