Dear Tyler,

 

Thanks for your question. It's highly UNLIKELY that you've got genital herpes. The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor more about this. In the meantime, you might want to use a notebook to keep track of the symptoms you're experiencing, such as new bumps, so that you can tell your doctor about this when you see him or her.

Answer This
There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
