I'm new to this, but have no one to talk to. I've been sleeping with this girl for about a year and a half and haven't had anything irregular happen. Just two months ago and I've Developed this itch on my inner thighs close to my scrotum. I've though nothing of it, but it's beginning to itch more and more. Now, since the itch blatantly activates only while I try to lay down/sleep...it seems like a small rash has appeared on both sides. Doesn't look like blisters to my understanding. Just a group of couple of bumps. 6-12 on each side with irritated skin after itching. Very scared it might be herpes. Please response.

    Hi to me if doesnt sound like herpes have you had any flu like symptoms along with it ? And a herpes outbreak itches and hurts throughout not just when you lay down and usually there are clear signs of blisters/ulcers but its always best to get it checjed while they are there if it is herpes they can only test you while you have the symptoms so best to get to docs.

    It could just be heat rash or some sort of other skin irritation but get up docs just to be on safe side x

    I mean, it'll itch couple times a day. But yeah, only at night will it become frequent. It doesn't hurt, just itches. But today, I scratched them ferociously and now it stings a little I guess cause I kept scraping at them. But, it's weird that two rashes developed on each side of my inner thigh.

    It doesnt sound like herpes to me could just be something like heat rash with herpes you get flu like symptoms fever achin joints ect and you get blisters/ulcers could be rubbing on your trousers and irritating the skin but id go to docs just to be on safe side and they could prescribe you some cream to stop the itching scratching them will just irritate them more but i know how hard it is not to scratch lol x

    Well, that's definitely positive feed back. Thanks. And yeah, scheduled a doctors appointment tomorrow at 8am. Even though they don't looks like pimples, blisters, and ulcers, still makes me nervous. And also not having any other flu symptoms does put me in an optimistic mood.
