Q: Raised bumps a sign of herpes ?

hello all,

yesterday i started getting an itch around the top of my foreskin, where it meets the head. i didn't think much of it, until i saw today there are two red raised bumps. they aren't painful, and also aren't so itchy anymore. i had unprotected sex with a girl a couple of months ago, but had a relationship with here for several months and have only felt any discomfort today. no headaches, aches or pains. i have had a case of 'jock itch' recently, i'm hoping its connected with that. the bumps are quite large, slightly raised and slightly red.

any advice please i'm really scared.

Here is the deal about HERPES.

IF you have herpes...

You are going to have an outbreak WITHIN 2-3 weeks of exposure 99% of time. It is rare to to get a "FIRST OUTBREAK" years after exposure. You can have a FIRST outbreak, and then not have a second OB for 1-2 years, but your first outbreak is going to be within 2-3 weeks of exposure.

You should see a doctor to get a PROPER diagnosis.
