Herpetic Whitlow

[littlelibra]

So ever since my first breakout, I found a relentless bump on the middle of my middle finger. And then it goes away with just a scar left. A couple days ago I see two more bumps form in close proximity to it. I popped one and it was clear liquid. I've been trying so hard to be careful as to not spread my genital herpes elsewhere but this is freaking me out. Is this plausible? Do you think it's herpetic whitlow?

Sure, it's possible. It's also possible that you're projecting. :-) I say that with love because we've all been there!!! Why not make a visit to the dermatologist or your regular doctor? There are so many things that can cause bumps on the skin that it's not only next to impossible to be diagnosed online, and it's really not fair to you to even attempt it.
