Q: Is this genital herpes?

I don't have any itching or burning, but I have what appear to look like boils on the top of my buttocks and my underwear line.  It started with just one on my underwear line and now there are two small spots but on my buttocks its like a rash and I don't know much about this.  I was tested almost 3 months ago and everything came back normal ((I didn't have any problems then)) just my yearly pap.  Since then I've only been with one man...ONCE.  Is this herpes, should I get checked or am I just overreacting? I've been cover the areas with bandaids so that my underwear and jeans don't rub against the areas and make them worse, but they're not going away and its been like 4 days.

 

Please help =x

You probably need to have the lesions checked - it could be an allergic reaction, some skin infection - but it sounds like you are concerned so why not get it checked to find out if you need some kind of local or systemic therapy.
