I am looking for information on genital herpes?

Question

would they be small, clear spots (flesh colored with red tinge) that itch frequently and causing a burning sensation when touched?

Answer 1

Usually genital herpes are quite large, almost like cystic acne. They are usually red, large, very itchy and can sometimes puss a clearish liquid. Then the sores can scab over and heal. A person with their first genital herpes outbreak is usually in A LOT of pain.

When I had my first outbreak I was in so much pain my doctor prescribed me Vicodin. I had to take two days off of work because I could hardly walk and even sit down.

Small, flesh colored bumps are usually genital warts. These can also be very itchy, but do not puss at all.

It sounds like you should see a doctor as soon as you can. You might just be having some sort of a rash or an allergic reaction, but it could also be something more serious like genital herpes or HPV (genital warts). Good luck to you!

Sounds like it. But you'd need to have a Doc check it out to find out for sure. There's a blood test that can be done also to see if you've got raised titres that would tell if you had contracted it. There are oral drugs that can suppress outbreaks, shorten ones and also creams that can be applied to lessen the discomfort. Unfortunately there is no cure at the moment although work and studies are ongoing for a vaccine. But that's been going on for years and probabley on the back burner because AIDS is more of a problem. Hope this helps a bit. Otherwise DOGPILE it.
