herpes help

[johnbud]

i have a question i had terrible acne on my face but i had acne on my back, chest, and face pimples pop up everywhere. now i have bumps on the bottom of my penis shaft and on my scrotum. i can pop some of them but some are under the skin. they don't itch but I'm scared there not pimples. I've never had sex and i have had a cold sore but i don't get them anymore. I'm just wondering if it can transfer down into the genitals and give me herpes.

Hi, Giving YOURSELF herpes is called autoinoclulation. It is possible that if you had a cold sore and touched your lip without washing your hands and then touched your privates you could have spread it. It can spread anywhere such as the eyes or if you are having oral sex with a partner who has a cold sore they can spread it to your genitals or if you have it on your genitals and have oral sex you can spread it in the form of a cold sore. it works both ways

google autoinoculation and you will see a million sites that will explain this. Its not crazy common but def possible.

Go see a doc and get tested to be sure. Even if you are a virgin you can still contract std's from oral sex so be safe either way. good luck,

The answer to your question is NO.

In fact having oral HSV-1 gives you immunity form getting genital HSV-1.

(your learn something everyday).

Hello

The acne on your face, back and chest will NOT transfer itself or turn into herpes.

You have to have sex to get herpes or most STDs that are of concern for most.
Since you are a virgin do not worry about STDs.
