Is Herpes Infection, Related With Rashes/bump On Groin With Numbness?

I have been to the doctor twice to have a rash checked out. First was on my groin after shaving. He said is was razor burn and sent me on my way. Second rash is on my buttocks. Fine bumps then a couple right next to each other a little larger with little white heads. I had protected sex with some one 4 weeks ago I knew to have herpes. Now in addition to the bumps I feel generalized numbness and tingling to my lower body mostly the right side. Neither doctor thought this was herpes. I requested a test with the second doctor. I m still awaiting that test. What do you think.

Hello,

I can understand your concern for the possibility of herpes in your case. After analyzing all your symptoms let me reassure you that none of your symptoms matches with herpes. In herpes we find multiple fluid filled vesicles which soon erodes to become ulcers of painful nature.

I reassure you that your test will come negative for herpes.

All the best.
