Paranoid, that I might have herpes? But I don’t have blisters.

So, I’ve had sex with about 10 partners.. I’ve wore a condom for all but 3. Other than that recently; last couple of weeks. I had develop a yeast infection. After taking treatment for it; it seems to have improved but the skin is still has redness.. actually I think I might’ve had jock itch because I had no other systems besides itchiness between my thigh and scrotum. A few days ago, I developed painless, bumps on my buttocks. They’re barely noticeable and don’t bother me. They aren’t even red... also.. the skin around my feet & toes started peeling.. also without pain or itchiness. I’m not sure if this all is by chance or maybe related. I probably sound paranoid and dumb, but I can’t really afford a doctor right now.

  I completely agree with the first response.  In this situation it’s best to consult with a true professional.

The longer you wait the more accurate the results!

Best of luck!

It certainly doesn't sound like herpes. Have you ever taken a test for it? Ask your doctor for a type-specific IgG blood test. It can take up to about 16 weeks to develop antibodies, so test now, and if needed, test when 16 weeks from your most recent exposure has passed.

See your doc for your symptoms. Peeling skin is usually fungal, but get a doc to look at it.
