Can I have Genital Herpes?
I am 15yr. Female. I have never had sexual intercorse. For the past two-three years ago I started geting these bumps. My doctor said it was an Absess [sp] from the bloomers I wear. They were to tight. I havent done cheerleading in about a year now but I am still getting the bumps, but they are worse now. They have moved lower and open like a sore. Is it possible that I have Genital Herpes?
I am still very active in sports. With summer coming up my next sport is SWIMMING and DIVING. Those sports are my life but i am to embarresed to wear a bathing suit with the bumps..
Please if you know anything.
Any information will be appreciated.

Abscesses do open up and some can get very painful and sore. If they look the same other than that, it is the same thing you were treated for already. If you had genital herpes your doctor would have found it.
The thing about the abscess, which is probably a boil, is they can frequently reoccur. Buy some antibacterial soap and use it in the areas where you get them most. Even when you don't have one there.
Wash you hands before and after touching them. Especially if they rupture because they can be spread.
Use a triple antibiotic on them. Neosporin is one or you can get a generic triple antibiotic ointment at Walmart. It will work just as good. That will clear them up faster than anything else that I know of. :)

Yes you technically could have it. Its fairly unlikely though. Are the bumps concentrated on your hair follicles? You might have something called folliculitis. The symptoms are very similar to herpes, but its a lot easier to get, its a bacteria that grows in hot tubs. Fortunately, its also a lot easier to treat. It isnt serious. Ask your doctor, and they should perscsribe an antibiotic for you, either in pill form, or in topical cream form depending on how widespread it is.

I don't think you do have any, but there is a chance you might. I'm no doctor so don't quote me, but if your bloombers have ever been worn before than the person who worn them could have had herpes and passed it on to you. It's unlikely unless you didn't wash the bloomers thoroughly, but still a chance.
Also they might have been the same sores except got infected. Some sores can get infected and spread. You might want to consolt your doctor really quick because if it is a bad infection you could die. But until you get to a doctor drink lots of water. Infections can dehydrate you and kill you. Keep water running through your system at all times.
Hope this works,

Thats what you get for genital herpes... but, if you dont have sexual intercourse, then.. i don't think you can have it? i'd go to your doctor again.
your doctor is the only one who will give you the best right answer. (:
