Is this genital warts or genital herpes? Please please help
Posted , 6 users are following.
i have had these for 4 days now they are all very small maybe size of a pin. i think they came after masterbating a few times in one day i am not sure if they was already there i am sure i would of notice them, they are not painful at all i stupidly popped one trying to convince myself they are just spots maybe caused from dirty hands or sweating at work , and only small amount of blood came out no puss from what i could see, i am worried sick and am struggling to sleep with worry, at the moment im on holiday and cant find a std clinic near by that i can just walk in, someone please help and give me there opinion.

Are you or have you been sexually active?

yes, normally practice safe sex and spoken to previous partners and all tested negative and have no signs of anything

Safe sex doesn't protect you 100% from genital warts, it just needs a slight skin on skin touch to spread. I doubt that it's herpes cuz these blisters hurt. However, the picture you've posted doesn't resemble a typical genital wart to me, just like the user above me said, looks more like a pimple. Just watch it a few weeks more. If you want a peace of mind, let a doctor take a biopsy after your holiday. I know exactly how you feel like since I discovered my warts while being on vacation too. I used to wake up every couple hours, checked the bumps, googled my symptoms and cried. It can cause so much anxiety. But let me tell you something: I was diagnosed with the warts at the end of the day and after all of my anxiety attacks and crying sessions, I realized through days of research how nearly everyone that's sexually active gets at least one strain of hpv in their life and it's not the end of the world. You're a man, it's way less risky for you. If it is warts, just get a prescription ointment or a laser treatment. You're probably young so the virus will eventually leave your body after 1-2 years. Think about still getting the hpv vaccine, if you don't already have them. Being confronted with the possibility of catching a std is scary, I know exactly how you feel. But it's nearly impossible to never catch any sort of std, if you're sexually active, even with protection. As I already said, if it really is genital warts, then you could actually consider yourself lucky. They don't cause any harm and you have plenty of removal options. Let that teach you to be a little more conscious when it comes to sex. A lot of stds can easily be spread by a simple skin on skin touch. Please please please stop googling similar pictures and just enjoy your holiday. You're fine and don't need to worry, there's probably a good solution for your problem and a few month or years from now, you will probably laugh about the amount of anxiety it caused you.
