Could this be herpes?

Posted , 7 users are following.

Out of no where, after hiking i noticed this patch of red bumps on my inner thigh and scrotum. Its not painful. Doesnt itch. I Hiked in extreme heat all day so I thought it was jock itch or hear rash but now after looking online im freaking out. it didnt blister. Just red bumps and after 3 days its started to flake.

Im losing my mind please help! Pictures are 3 days old.

      herpes doesnt flake!? it blisters and then just goes away or scabs.

      that pic below is fungal. you need a cream for that

    You need to calm down that is not genital herpes, it is chaffing caused by your hike . Apply a non scented cream to the area 2-3 times a day and within a week it should be gone.

    Have you had a new sexual partner recently? if yes, then it would be worth a visit to your doctors for a sexual health screening but based on your image alone there is nothing alarming going on.
