It's not an STD, but to keep you from "freaking out", you should go to the doctor and get tested. And from now on, when you're "hookin up" use a condom.

Its a form of heat rash, I use talc and some cream I get from Boots. Generally gone within a few hours after I've used it.

Could be anything from genital herpes to scabies. Your best bet would be to go to the doctor and have a complete STD panel done, just to make sure.

Actually sounds like heat rash. Keep the skin dry, and try to find a type of medicated powder such as Gold Bond Or Fissars

Rashes are not a symptom of genital herpes.\n\nHerpes zoster (shingles) do look like rashes and they can appear anywhere on the body, usually the legs, arms, and the side of the body. This is not sexually transmitted, so if he is worried about getting in trouble from his parents he shouldn't be. Shingles is usually transmitted by someone who has chicken pox. So if he was exposed to someone who has chickenpox he could have got it from them.\n\nGenital herpes are blister like sores. They can open and puss a clearish fluid. There can be a few or 10 or more sores in the genital area. They are also VERY painful. Is he in a lot of pain? I was in so much pain that my doctor prescribed me the pain killer Vicodin. \n\nI hope this answered your question.

First, you should go see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.\nThe blisters/sores could be an STD or some other sort of infection, or just from alot of friction during sex. Some sores/blisters will go away with time, but the STD or infection will still remain in the body and probably come back.\n Blisters, warts, discharge, etc. on or around the penis are not normal occurrences and should be dealt with immediately. It may seem a little embarrassing to go ask the doctor about problems in the private areas of our body, but it is essential to staying healthy. If you have concerns, go get tested at the doctors office. And get routine check-ups.

If you are sure it is a heat rash, and you are still being exposed to the heat source, then you should be okay.  But if you fear it is something else, then by all means, go see the doctor.

From what you are saying, I doubt your friend's boyfriend has herpes, especially in his mouth from oral sex.  There are a couple of types of herpes.  There is the herpes that causes fever blisters and cold sores.  This type of herpes is transmitted generally from sharing drinks, lipstick, kissing, so basically it is one that breaks out on the face and when contracted the face is what will be affected during breakouts.  \n\nThe other herpes, that would have been contracted during oral sex, is referred to as "genital herpes" and generally that is where the breakouts occur.  If you will remember all of the drug commercials on TV a year or so about a drug to reduce the time between breakouts and shortening the duration of the breakout. \n\nUnfortunately, both types of herpes are not curable.  There are definitely some things to help alleviate the pain, burning and embarrassment of them.  If your friend's boyfriend has the herpes virus that causes cold sores, then he can go to the drugstore and get an ointment for lips/mouth.  However, for a sore that has broken out inside his mouth there are two vitamins that help with this, they are L-Lysine and Lecithin.  I personally have the virus that causes the mouth breakouts.  By taking these vitamins as well as staying healthy, I hardly ever have a breakout.  Not even once a year, and when I do get them, they go away quickly. \n\nAlso, if you friend has what some people call a cold sore in his mouth, it could also be something else.  A canker sore or mouth ulcer.  This is usually caused by an unbalance of the vital bacteria your body needs called acidophilous.  He may want to get some acidophilous in pill form or get some acidophilous milk.  My brother used to get these alot when we were really young.  Not to gross you out, but it's also a great thing for women who suffer from yeast infections.  It's the same thing.  Just different locations. Just a note to self, bathing in acidophilous milk is great for a yeast infection.  (I have a sister who is a pharmacist, so I get alot of good information).

Are the "bumps" fluid filled (blisters) or solid? How long does it take for them to go away? What other things are you experiencing (does your groin hurt? do you have a vaginal discharge? If so, what color/consistency?) I agree with the other members advice that you need to go see your OBGYN and refrain from sexual contact until a diagnosis has been determined. If you have contracted herpes, although it is not cureable, it is certainly not the end of your sex life, you just have to be careful when you do have sex (use condoms, no sex when you are experiencing an outbreak) and good communication between you and your partner. One-third of the American population has some type of herpes infection (either genital or oral) although many do not experience any symptoms, only an ELISA (a type of diagnosic test) can determine if you have been infected if you have no symptoms. Because this test is extremely expensive most folks have no idea if they are infected. When you are having symptoms it is important to go see your doctor or nurse practitioner to prevent infection to others. \nEducate yourself about herpes and rest assure that you can have a natural childbirth, it is not a fatal disease, and be thankful that it is not HIV.

Could well be herpes. If you have performed fellatio on your partner then it is possible you have contracted it that way. Go see the doctor, and if it was because of your partner, get them to wash well and get treatment.

This is usually caused by Herpes Simplex 1 or 2 virus. Or shingles.. which is actually caused by a similar virus.\n\nI know because I suffer from this.\n\nOf course see a doctor but it sounds like the first stage of a herpes breakout.

I agree, it's either a yeast infection (for what you can find medication at any store like walmart) or it can be a STD. You should go see your doctor ASAP.\nGood luck to you

Genital herpes lesions will usually appear in numbers.  In men the lesions may look like ulcers (open sores). Typically the lesions begin as blisters that erupt, become ulcers and often heal in 5 to 7 days.  The lesions are painful and there may be swelling in the lymph nodes at the groin.  There may be some drainage from the erupted blisters. You may even run a low-grade fever.  A pimple will appear to be just that.  You haven't said how long you've had this but if it doesn't go away in about 2 weeks from the first day you noticed it or if it worsens or spreads, check with your doctor for further evaluation.  In the meantime, keep your penis clean (in every sense of the word) and abstain from sex until this is resolved or until you get a doctor's diagnosis.

I am sorry to say but Mike is WRONG:\nThere are two types of Herpes,  Herpes simplex type I or II. Either type can infect the mouth or genitals (if you're really unlucky you can have 4 lifelong infections going at the same time: HSV1 and 2 in the upper body, HSV1 and 2 in the lower body. This would be very rare). When your incfected, the virus "hides" in the nervous system between outbreaks. It will protect you from a new infection of the same type, not of another type.\nOnly about 25% of Americans over the age of 12 DO NOT have antibodies against one of the two (standard test for exposure and infection).\nHSV1 is extremely prevalent (very easy to pass on, quite innocently, just by an injudicious kiss to a baby). Most everybody (up to 90% of the population) has antibodies against HSV1 by the time they're 50.\nAbout 20 to 30% of the population has antibodies against HSV2, more women than men (infection is easier for females), but HSV1 is fast becoming a major cause of genital herpes.\nMost people with HSV1 have just "fever blisters". Some have it bad, a terrible rash from the nose down to the chest, inside the mouth, it looks like a case of pox. It can last a few days to over a week. Genital herpes is basically the same on the genitals, blisters and lesions, individually different how bad. \n\nNow about transmission: It mostly happens when you have a blister/blisters going, through direct skin-to-skin contact. Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of the first symptoms (tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over. Also try to prevent self-infection to other areas of your body. Wash your hands with soap and water if you touch a sore. Better yet, don't touch the sores.\nUnfortunately, the virus can sometimes  spread , when no signs or symptoms are present. This is called "Asymptomatic Transmission." Often people don't know they are infected, these people may have symptoms so mild they don't notice them at all or else don't recognize them as herpes. They can also spread it. Still, asymptomatic transmission appears to be far less likely than spreading the virus when lesions are present.
