Herpes or pimples?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I found these bumps around my anus. I dont know if they are herpes or pimples. They do not hurt and can pop either. They have been there for awhile. My anus does itch and has been for awhile, but I think its hemorrhoids becuase it hurts pretty bad at time when I'm pooping.

      Im pretty sure Its not hemorrhoids.

      The fact that your bottom is itchy could pose a variety of issues not just HSV

      Question - is your bottom more itchy whilst you sleeping as threadworms does this - or it could just be a fungal infection.

      They dont look like HSV...

      I would see your Dr and get to the 'bottom' of it - sorry for the pun......

      I am not a Dr - its just my opinion

      the bumps themselves are not itchy. I had hemorrhoids, two different problems. They dont hurt or itch they have just been there for a long time and wont go away.

      they hemorrhoids is what was causing the itchiness, you know, more in the booty. the bumps are more on the outside. they wont pop either, not to sound gross lol

      Can herpes even get that far from the anus? I've had these bumps for awhile. they are not getting any better or worse. Just there. They cant be popped either.
