I am trying to figure out what these bumps/sores are, on my inner right thigh. it began with me at work, and i started to notice pain when i walked. i went to the bathroom, inspected my inner thigh (near my groin) and noticed a cluster of bumps. i had my girlfriend buy me gauze and wrap, and i wrapped it around my leg. the wrapping helps cushion the bumps against other things, so it is slightly helpful. but i started to worry because they werent going away or getting better.
my symptoms were intense burning/poking. i went to a lab and got bloodtested for genital herpes, and both came out negative. ive been with the same girlfriend in a monogomous relationship for 3 years, but i had maybe thought the herpes was just dormant. now im thinking it might be shingles. the first cluster came about 4-5 days ago. then started to notice another smaller cluster about 4 inches down. then, an area again, aroud 4 inches near, started to itch..but just a slight red rash was there. well, the second cluster is VERY itchy/burny right now, and has raised up, and the third cluster is started to form. the first original cluster, is very slowly seemingly getting better.
what could this be? i thought maybe shingles..because what i have i feel like was genital herpes. but since it wasnt, it must be shingles? im 23, male, and had chicken pox before. others say it doesnt really look like shingles.
