Hey guys, I really need some help.

I was out shopping last Thursday evening. When I made it home I hopped in the shower. Before this I felt absolutely nothing, but when I wash my scrotum it itched like crazy which made me scratch like crazy. When I gout out and dried off, the area I had scratched was raw. I looked down and it was a little red but no bumps, blisters or anything. When I put my finger on area later it burned a little, but I assumed that was because I broke the skin by scratching in the shower. It made a long scab the next morning and when I got in the shower the scab came off, which made it a little sore. From itching in the shower Thurs night to Sunday, everything had cleared up. My question is does this sound like herpes?

    No . No herpes what so ever .

    Most people Google the symptoms or do something before commenting on these forums ., it doesn't even look like you did your research you just automatically assumed and that's not good at all .

    You're going to know if you have herpes by oblivious reasons ..

    And this is no where near that . Your skin is just irratied it will go back to normal and heal over here soon .

      Thank you for responding Kool redd. I "thought" I had done my research in the sense of looking things up online. You read so many different stories that you get overwhelmed. I read itching, redness, scabs, and even though there were know blisters afterwards I panicked. You said I'd know for obvious reasons... What do you mean by that? Thanks for commenting, once again.
