Thank you so much for the reply and responses. I’ll see if I can get into a dermatologist.

So technically I don’t know if I have herpes for sure or not. I went to my PCP and said I was concerned about HSV2 and HPV and he basically shrugged like neither were important enough to look more into. Gave me every other STD/STI test (all negative), but didn’t even want to do any examine for those two items. I did have some genital warts (HPV) but for what I think is herpes I wasn’t showing much. Then I went to planned parenthood to get looked at. They helped with treatment for the warts but wouldn’t test for HSV. The Dr thought it sounded more like folliculitis but I have my doubts. It’s frustrating because I’ve seen essentially two doctors in a month for this and neither wants to test me. Planned Parenthood said the tests are supper unreliable and not worth doing. She also said she didn’t think it was herpes because herpes sores are super painful and the pimple like sores I’ve gotten I’ve popped and they haven’t hurt at all. So here’s my story. I had one night stand with a woman and we used a condom. Obviously, that doesn’t protect everywhere and the HPV I got is proof of that. In addition to that 2-3 days later I got tingly feeling in genitals and my lymph nodes were sensitive (not swollen). Then a rash came. I’ve never had any blisters but have had white bumps like pimples. I’ve popped them and it’s always been white puss and then they bleed. Always completely healed/gone by next day: Similar to a pimple but previously I never got pimples or ingrown hairs in my genital area. Over 3 plus months I’ve maybe had 10-12 of them and never more than 2 at any time. The rash comes and goes. Like it can be completely different from first thing when I wake up to what it’s like when I go to bed. It’s been 3.5 months and the rash never goes away for more than 1-3 days. What sucks is when I went to planned parenthood the rash was 100% gone for first time in probably a month. Then literally the next morning it was back. The rash will be all over my pelvic area and then seems to settle in basically the base of my penis. But other times it’ll be a couple bumps near base of penis and then slowly gets bigger and bigger (or spreads out over more and more area) I can add photos if it helps but wondering if this sounds like herpes or something else. Is it normal for herpes to just hang around and basically never leave? I assume the fact I got HPV probably isn’t doing me any favors with the issues I’m having either.
