    Are they itchy or painful at all?

      hi!

      they hurt like a mother@&&@. Doing number 2 is horrible.

      Taking a shower hurts too, i let the water run for a good while.

      i dont suffer from constipation which is why i started questioning if it was hemorrhoids.

      Also, i havent had anal sex or had any sort of anal stimulation.

      Ok so painful - how long have these been there for that you can remember? I mean you can still get herpes if the skin to skin contact was touching that area..

      Any flu like symptoms, groin swelling?

      i started to have some discomfort like a week ago and then maybe like 4 days ago passing stool just became excruciating. my groin lymph nodes are a bit tender. i have a phone appointment with the doctor tomorrow, hopefully she can shed some light. it is better than before, but theres blood each time i wipe after number 2

      This happened to me and it happened as a result of my sh-t literally being too big. It stretched my anus too far and tore it and every day after that for about two weeks it hurt like hell to even go again. It was an anal fissure. It could possibly be that?

    heyy i just wanted to give an update

    i spoke to my doctor today, i sent her the pictures. she said it does look like herpes. the lesions seem to be at different stages of healing.

    we cant know for sure unless tested. because it is already healing i dont think it wouldve been worth waiting 2 days to go to tje cabinet so i opted for taking the antiviral therapy.
