I found two open sores near my anus. Ther is no cluster or bumps just open sores. It is not red around the sores either. Could this be herpes? I went to a strip club about a week ago and got a lapdance. I have been worried since then and had alot of anxiety. I have not had any other symptoms. Three days ago I looked on my anus and found these sores. No crust or puss or anything just open sores. Prior to this last week I have have occasionally had itching from time to time from sweating could I have scratched it. I have an appointment to go to the doctor but just very stressed out please

    Just because a stripper gave you a lap dance doesn't mean Anything...

    Did you have sex with the stripper ??

    The way you describe it as doesn't sound like herpes .. At all .

    Are you in any pain ?

    When was last time you had sex?

    It would be best for you to go to the doctor and get it swabbed ..

    You don't want to wait too long it might disappear, go away slowly and if it's not enough there they won't be able to swab you .

      I am not in any pain. I did not even know the sores where there until I looked. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow but from what I read the sores have probably been there to long for an accurate test. Is that correct?

      Not at all .

      My sores were dang near gone when I got swabbed and they told me I had what I had ...

      SOO yeah. Their never really too old.

      I seriously don't think its anything serious , not herpes I can tell you that .

      & you dang sure can't get it from getting a lap dance by a stripper I can tell you that right now.

      Don't get your head in a bunch ..

      It's okay ... Could be a yeast infection , thrush .,, anything ,

      But with self diagnosis it doesn't sound like herpes

    How much genital skin to skin contact was there during this lap dance? I'm assuming you had your pants on, even if she didn't or was only wearing a thong. Basically, no genital skin to skin, no herpes. Most unlikely for a regular lap dance to result in herpes.

      There was no skin to skin contact that im aware of. Is it common for a first outbreak to be on the anus even if that wasn't the point of contact? I'm just really confused there is so many things online and don't know what to believe. I can't find any pictures of herpes that look like what I have.

      That's what I figured, so not herpes. First outbreak near your anus would also be unusual. Usually, you'd expect it where you got infected, so your penis.

      Yes, via the desktop site, but you don't need to. I mean, how did you get herpes if her naked genitals didn't even touch yours?? Genital skin contact is required.

      Would you mind taking a look to help ease my mind? I'm just scared there may have been contact I didn't realize

      Here is a pic of it.  Does it resemble any kind of herpes outbreak?

      I don't know what that is, so it's a good thing you're getting it looked at! Most unlikely for you to get a first outbreak there, though, and for you to not notice anything before looking. Herpes lesions usually cause tenderness or soreness, and end up looking like canker sores. Yours have no sensation at least.

      Like you I have no idea what they are. If I don't spread my cheeks they look more like cuts until they are spread.

      All I can say is that they're not from the lap dance in question. If they do turn out to be herpes, then I'd conclude that you already had it from long before. But could be anything at this stage.
