Herpes-can you just have one spot?
Question:
Answers:
Yeah that's how I get it. It just comes up as one small bump although I have had several bumps normally it's just one. If is herpes it definately isn't the end of the world so try not to drive yourself crazy. It could also be an ingrown hair, pimple, or something else. I would definately go to the doctor and get a culture test to know for sure the faster the better for best treatment. Just make sure you have it present when you're there or else they can't do anything for you.
Good luck
no..could just be a wart or something else.
see a Dr for a test.
Sounds like an infected hair, herpes doesn't just show up as one little spot.
yes, actually you can, and your genitals arent the only place that they can appear. you can also have them on your inner thighs and buttox, and on/in your mouth, and rare cases if im not mistaken, the eyes. cold sores are a form of herpes, but not the std version. you could also have them and not know if you've never had an outbreak
There are two "versions" of herpes. Either symplex can occur either place. For example if you have genital herpes you can transmit that to your partner during oral sex. If your partner has herpes on their mouth, a "fever blister" or "cold sore" it can also be trasmitted to your genital area. The spot you're talking about could be, or it could just be an ingrown hair, or just some kind of acne-like bump (i'm assuming this spot is on your genital area). I would definately go to the doctor to be safe.
It could be I would go see a doctor.
Yes, it in fact just be one spot or even no spot at all and still be Herpes. I have had Herpes for 4 years, and I have little or no visible symptoms. This is one reason Herpes is so wide spread - people don't realize that the classic, painful primary Herpes outbreak isn't the standard for determining if you have Herpes or not. Most people have such mild symptoms that they don't even know they have it. Get a type specific blood test to be sure.
The virus starts to multiply when it gets into the skin cells. The skin becomes red and sensitive, and soon afterward, one or more blisters or bumps appear. The blisters first open, and then heal as new skin tissue forms. During a first outbreak, the area is usually painful and may itch, burn or tingle. Flu-like symptoms are also common. These include swollen glands, headache, muscle ache or fever. Herpes may also infect the urethra, and urinating may cause a burning sensation.
