Q: Wondering What These Bumps Are.
asked by: KeaMak on January 7th, 2007

Basically, I have recently broken out with 2-3 small sores (about 3 mm in diameter) in my pubic region. I have never had any type of std before, and my boyfriend hasnt either. We have been in a monogomus relationship for two years, and have never had any scares of anything before. My first thought was maybe I have herpes/genital warts, but is it possible to get herpes/genital warts from a partner who has never showed symptoms?

As well as the little bumps/sores (which are reddish whitish), I also noticed a bit of burning with urination, mild increases in discharge, have a swollen lymph gland in the area, and some mild lower abdomen pain. I am planning on going to the doctor, but it takes a while to get in so im wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone in the meantime!

Well- don't quote me- but that looks like genital herpes.

Only a real doctor could tell you- by taking a swab of the sore[s]. Hope you are feeling better and good luck.

I am getting checked in about 6 days (hopefully they wont go away before them), but what im wondering mostly is,

can someone really have herpes and never show a symptom or have any idea they have it for 2.5-3 years? I know it can be passed when there are no symptoms, but I was under the impression that it wasn't one of those 'quiet' viral infections.

Herpes isn't a quiet infection...Well it can be, but it always gives an outbreak in the beginning.

My wife suggested that it may be ingrown hairs. She gets that when she trims and it looks like an std but it isn't.
