well i wasnt sure if i should ask this on here since its stupid and embarrassing. but i guess i should give it a try and since people ask some question like mine...well here it goes...
can someone have herpes when they didnt do IT? or anything sexual for that matters?
well i never ever in my life...did it, or fooled around...infact i never had a stinkin boyfriend in my whole life...(sorry im so pathetic)
but anyways... today i was like about to sit down then suddenly it hurted down there... and well it kept hurting ish ,,,not that much but anyways ...so when i was using the "facility" i HAD to check, then it had this little red (kinda big) bump on my ...uh,...you know what...
can it be just a pimple? because i heard people DO have pimple down there except i never had one and i was wondering if its herpes...
so please someone help... i am scared to death if it is...
and what if it IS? can i Die from it??? or do i have to take a treatment?? because if it doesnt do anything to ya... then i might just well live with it...unless its deadly...
Additional info, added Wednesday June 15 2005, 8:59 pm: ok well a day after my bump happened, i walked a lot and it didnt hurt before when i walked , but today its gotten bigger and it hurted when i walked, but i had to go on for a walk with a guy friend i liked, so i went anyways...then when i got home, it kinda popped...well there was some kinda like bloodish well not blood but kinda like when you pop a pimple that isnt supposed to be popped...
so i am guessing its not STD and not something that i am going to die from...because it doesnt hurt that much anymore...well it still hurts and its still there but not that much...
sublime_burritos answered Tuesday June 14 2005, 7:19 pm: it could very easily be acne, especially since this is the first time you've noticed a red bump popping up before, and haven't had any sexual contact. however, herpes can be genetic (i don't know very much in this area, except that i had a friend a few years ago who was born with herpes, i'm sure google has much more information on that than i do) so i can't rule it out as a possibility. however, i'm fairly certain its just a pimple, but for confirmation, go see your gyno (or since you seem young, ask your mom to take you to her gyno for a check up). hope i helped <3 [ sublime_burritos's advice column | Ask sublime_burritos A Question ]
MHScutie87 answered Tuesday June 14 2005, 5:58 pm: genital herpes is an STD (SEXUALLY transmitted disease) so you may not necessarily have had to had intercourse but you had to be having oral or anal sex to get genital herpes. so if you havent done anything of that kind, then its most likely not herpes...
it could be a wart. keep an eye on it and if it doesnt go away in about a week or two, then i would suggest consulting a doctor about your concerns. theres also special cream in the meantime that you can get at cvs or eckards.
