Sounds more like scabies than herpes, but you could just have a rash from something. Don’t just jump to the conclusion of STD if you don’t know for sure. I’d go get checked out if I were you.

you men ..sheesh… get to a clinic and have it checked out.

You should see a doctor about this. It does not sound like herpes, which tends to itch before the sores appear and then hurt quite a bit.

It’s very possible that this is not sexually transmitted at all, even though your symptoms are appearing on your penis. Bedbugs, for example, can be responsible for itchy bites, and I’ve encountered them in youth hostels and cheap hotels in eastern Europe.

At the very least, I would go to a pharmacist and ask them for advice. In many parts of the world, a pharmacist has the ability to prescribe medications for common ailments, and it would be a lot easier than trying to find a doctor.

Good question.

Unfortunatly I have had scabies before…they will show up in places where the skin creases, such as your fingers, knees, elbows, down “there”….the more serious it becomes the more spread out it becomes. They are little bugs that burrow under the skin, so when you itch them they move and it makes you want to itch more…and same with the hot shower, it makes them move and then you itch. Go to the doctors and get the topical antibiotic…you have to wash EVERYTHING you touch every day and shower everyday. I was pregnant when I had them and had to get a sulfer and patrolium jelly solution to cover my whole body in every day (yes I had a REALLY bad case of them) it took about a month for them to go away doing it that way….the guy I got them from (my daughters real dad) got to do the faster RX and they were gone from him in about 2 weeks.
