I was diagnosed few years back after sleeping with a female who wasn't honest with me. Still my mistake. I became increasingly depressed and I've never been that way before. After my diagnoses I still showed no symptoms really and now after two years I have several bumps on my penal shaft. And I don't know what to do and it's the worst for me. Any please with any suggestions, advice or kind words and even just able to relate please comment. Thank you.

    Did you have an outbreak at the time you were diagnosed? How were you diagnosed, and with which HSV type? As for the bumps now, how long have they been there? On the one hand you make it sound like these are the only bumps you've really experienced since two years ago, but in your subject line you say your outbreaks now never stop, which sounds like you are getting outbreak after outbreak. Your information is not clear.

      Bumps been there for almost 6months. Maybe longer. Like small bumps under my penis head and bumps underneath the skin of my penal shaft. Plus now seeing small bumps pop up clustered together.

      Herpes is surface-based, not below the skin, plus herpes lesions would not persist unchanged for months. What you have been consistently experiencing these past six months thus does not sound like herpes. I also saw your photos and it doesn't like herpes either (except maybe that last photo of a small cluster - are those bumps soft and fluid-filled or hard?).

      As a result, I would suggest you see a doctor for your persistent skin problem, and if you do that while the cluster is still there, you can also ask to have that swabbed and typed for herpes, since that is more reliable than the blood tests and I'm not sure you know which HSV type you carry, so it's good for you to find out.
