Internal rectal itching, discovered red spots, fairly certain it is herpes?

Posted , 9 users are following.

Hi all, I've sort of concluded that I have genital herpes but am on here to seek confirmation or I guess, maybe some hope that isn't (highly doubtful). Attached is a photo. I'm going to my GP tomorrow. Thanks.

    Does it hurt , itch ?  And how long have you had these or notice them ?

      It doesn't hurt, only itches. It started on Saturday (two days ago), but now the red spots have diminished greatly and the itching subsided. Could it be low-grade hemorrhoids? It's only internal which I find odd for herpes, though I know it can happen.

    Did you ever find out what this was? I experienced the exact same thing and got tested but unfortunatley the lab lost my sample and i had to repeat it a week later. Because it was a week later there was a possibilty it would come back negative since so much time had already passed and began healing. I was hoping your diagnosis would give me some clarity as to what i may have had.
