Hairy Herpes Sore ?

Ok, here we go.....I am a 25 year old Male. A couple days ago I found a single painless open sore that had two hairs growing out of it on the shaft of my penis (looked like a minor syphilis chancre). I was confused but figured it was ingrown hairs and plucked them out. Then I noticed two other bumps in the crease where the pubic hair meets the leg. I plucked the hairs out of these lumps as well. Then I noticed a couple 2 or 3 really small pimple like bumps filled with clear fluid on the shaft of my penis most with fine hairs growing out of them. The timeline from appearance of the single chancre to the clear fluid filled pimples is 3 days.

There is no pain or puss or any other herpes symptoms except it has yet to heal. What worries me is that I have never had anything like this before and I have been sleeping with a new girl for the past month both with protection and not.

I also am very physically active and workout and run 5 times a week and wear spandex compression shorts. I have been wearing compression shorts and working out for years with none of these symptoms.

I went to a Nurse and got tested but I live in a very isolated community and it will take over a month for results and I am going nuts. Can or does folliculitis start as a single sore and spread ? Any Help PLEASE !

Cheers

With bumps they can be many things so all we can really tell you is to have a Dr examine it. Bumps like that can be anything from herpes to irritation with 100 different things inbetween.

The Doctor only flies in once every 2 months. I saw the nurse she did all the tests but was pretty clueless and results will take over a month. I mention everything from herpes to syphillis to folliculitis because I am freaked out and have been searching like a mad man on the internet and not sleeping !

Any Help or opinions please !

You start by asking about herpes in your title then you talk about syphilis and then folliculitis. Bumps can be many things and best bet is to have a Dr take a look at it for his diagnosis.
