i recently went on a school trip and we stayed in a hotel. the last day we were there, the left side of my bottom started hurting really bad. it was really sore, but there wasnt a rash or bruise or anything. When i got home i noticed some small bumps on my bottom that are really sore to touch and hurt really bad. I sat on the edge of the bathtub in the hotel when i shaved my legs and i was thinking that could be where i picked up these bumps. there is no chance they are an std unless i might have picked up herpes or something on the bathtub because i've never had sex. can you catch herpes off a bathtub? what else could it be?

Also the bathtub could have been slightly damped with water and you wasn't aware of it while you were sitting and if you were perspiring that day this would also case irritation .

The Dr told her it must have been from non-sex contact with the virus..such as the toilet, bathtub or a towel. While this is very rare, and you'd most likely need to have a break in the skin where the virus enters..I would say it can happen. It would be best to go to the Dr and he/she can do a blood test to see if you have been exposed. There are plenty of good medications that can help control this, but the bad thing is...once you have it, you have it for life! [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
mayonnaise answered Thursday June 1 2006, 11:51 am: I know someone that, that happened to. I can't 100% say its herpes, but I know its possible to get from a bathtub. You should see a doctor. But theres something else called Shingles. Thats what I think it is. You can get it from public toliets and such. [ mayonnaise's advice column | Ask mayonnaise A Question ]

You could have picked up some sort of fungus, afterall you can never trust hotel showers, bathtubs, ect. Hope this helps.
