As of yesterday when I was taking a shower I noticed between 5 and 7 red marks on my inner thighs fairly close to my privates. 2 of these red marks were in the pubic hair above my penis but not really close to it. The ones that were actually in the hair had the appearance of ingrown hair. So of course first thing I do is go into panic mode and start researching herpes. Well I looked at the pictures of herpes on yahoo images etc and it doesn't really look anything like that. They do not itch and they are not sore, and only the 2 that were actually in the pubic hair itself are raised, but barely at all. I noticed this morning when I woke up the 2 within the hair had "popped" with no signs of puss or anything but it just kind of looked like dry skin. I did however have sex last week, and i've known the girl for years and she swears up and down shes been tested.What in the world could this be? is this just the early stages of an outbreak or what's goin on? Just possibly a skin irritation? It's got me all worried =/

What is this? Herpes?
-
It doesn't sound like a Herpes outbreak to me

I sure hope it isn't, but I was thinking its possible something to do with the way my clothes were washed? I was in jail for 30 days and my mom did my laundry while I was on work release and one of the shirts I wore did something similar to my back. I am just looking for all the help I can get to pinpoint the problem :smile: thank you for the prompt response :smile:

Jail?Wow... that's for a whole other thread... right?It could be as simple as a heat rash to an ingrown hair to just a simple zit. I wouldn't worry about it....

Welcome to A2A, DudeMcjizzle. Perhaps it was an allergic reaction to a different laundry detergent?
-
I'm sorry...
I was rude...I forgot to welcome you to the A2A Community...
Welcome! -
That was one of the possibilities that I was thinking of, I guess I'll just wait it out to see what happens, I just panicked..
-
Dude... don't panic just keep an eye out on it and see what happensHave a happy new year!

Well it's been a few days and it still looks pretty much the same. The red spots are still the same size and they aren't raised and they don't itch or hurt or anything. This is just so confusing I can't figure out what it is.
-
I don't have much idea either. Perhaps some sort of skin infection?
-
I actually got something similar to that once, I eventually found out through trial and error I've developed a kind of allergic reaction to Silver, so it might be something as simple as a belt buckle!As others have already suggested, it could also be from whatever the clothes are washed in... I can't deal with my clothes being washed with certain brands because they bring me out in a rash, and I itch really badly, doesn't sound like the herpes from what I know, but then I've never seen that either, so I'm not really qualified to say, if in doubt best off getting yourself checked out, that way it'll put your mind totally at ease

Well I woke up this morning and they seemed to have faded away a little bit, and still no itch and if I run my hand over them i can't even tell they are there? I'm just gonna write it off as some sort of allergic reaction because I don't really see what else it could be.
