painful to touch small bumps on upper thigh

[infoplease123]

drying myself in the shower today and ended up with some nerve pain.  Little pink pumps are there almost in a line.  Does this sound like something that would present itself as herpes 2?  I know it can be in the boxer short area- this is- it's basically right where a short short would end a few inches lower than my buttow on my thigh. It hurrrrts!

It could be, of course, but there are also literally dozens of other things it could be. The bumps being in a line suggests it isn't herpes, but the only way to know is to go get it checked out. The sooner you go, the better, as it will be easier to diagnose before it starts to heal.

Go get it cultured or PCR swabbed TODAY.

And let's keep all your questions to one thread to make it easier for readers (like me) to keep up with everything.

will do!  if this were a prodome would pain be isolated to one area?  The redness has gong down but the pain is there when I touch it.  It's almost like a spot that would be a bruise but there is nerve pain when I press on it.

well doctor said that she doesn't think it's herpetic and doesn't know what to make of it. Turns out my pap came up with HPV type 18.  Now I have one more thing to worry about with regards to my health.  Doctor said cells were types as glandular and that I need to get it soon to have a colonoscopy.  I wish this all would end.
