Q: herpes scare please help me!!

ok so about a month ago i woke up one day with lower pelvic discomfort. Following this i started notciing tingling feelings in my hands and feet. This progressed to tingling in my legs and buttocks, and then finally my genitals. This really freaked me out so i went and got an exam and i had no sores. This tingling lasted for about 2 weeks!! it all started to go away so i though it was ok. But recently i got the flu and the pelvic pain came back, and then i had the tingling in my genitals again! NO sores or anything! please does this sound like herpes? My doctor has checked me many times for sores and i have had none. What could cause something like this to reoccur? I know herpes causes tinlign BEFORE a blister appears but to have tingling for a week!? please help im so scared. also i have this one red thing that look like a pimple on the inner thigh sort of near where the thihg meets the vagina.. is this herpes? does herpes only cause 1 of these!?

Ok when I first got herpes it looked like a bruise on my butt, the bumps came later so probally but a doctor will know for sure. One out 5 people in US have herpes now days. You need to find out if it is one or 2.  Write me back if the doc exam say yes you have it I am an experienced person with 1 and 2 it is a tough club to belong to but yes you will be ok, and we can help you understand it better
