Herpes :: Difference Between Pimples And Warts
Mar 9, 2015
I am a 25 year old sexually active male. Yesterday i noticed small white bumps around my penis head. they looked like small pimples. they do not itch are not dry and are not painful.
the white bumps where less visible today after a shower. harder to find unless i look hard under good light
My questions are:
1: does this mean i have hpv ?
2: are these pimples or warts and how can i tell the difference ?
3: if these white bumps are gone after 3 days does this mean i am not infected ?

I have some small, painless, bumps on the shaft of my penis and they do not hurt and do not itch or anything. I do masturbate frequently and one day I just happen to notice that there were some very small bumps on the shaft of my penis. I've always had a few pimple like bumps on my penis for as long as I can remember. They can even be popped. But these new bumps are not the same thing. I haven't had sex in over a year and a half.

I'm 17 and I first noticed a bump down there about a month ago. I didn't think anything of it until more appeared. I went to the doctor a couple days ago and she told me they were warts. I've only ever had one sex partner and he didn't (and still doesn't) have any warts. Why do I have them and he doesn't?
Also, I recently discovered that one of my warts is turning scabby and sort of black. Is that a good sign? How long should I wait to see if they'll heal without treatment?
I've read about home remedies to treat them as well. Should I try anything simple or just wait and see if they heal on their own?

Been getting this pricking feeling in my inner thighs and its like its getting worse i looked up what it could be. I saw herpes a few times i read it could be a start of an outbreak and the sore will appear 30 min.s to 2 days. it's been almost 3 it hurts and feels like it spread to my front thigh and i get this feeling on my arm and chest and side. I read it could be shedding too but i never noticed an outbreak of any type of open sores or blisters and i only started having sex a year ago. I don't think I'm the type not to show signs because my immune system is not all that good especially since i barely eat healthy or work out got really bad allergies and get sick pretty easily. I looked up shingles they said a person who had the chickenpox can get this. I had chicken pox. It said it happens to one part of the body and sometimes no rash just a pricking feeling. And i guess i should add i haven't had sex for a month now and this prickly feeling i was getting on and of just a little bit and now its been there constant for two almost 3 days. No rash open sores redness nothing. I don't feel sick just tummy and belly button hurt. And I'm on depo and read it can suppress the immune system. So is this herpes or shingles or me overreacting and freaking out? And what's the difference between herpes and shingles? Can i spread shingles?

Have any of you ladies experienced a bartholin cyst that could've been questionable for herpes? How to tell the difference? I had some ache down in that area for a month when I would squeeze my legs together while sitting cross legged. Then one week was some slight itching and I looked, on the inside of the opening of vagina on left side was a marble sized like white ulcer, i went in to get it swabbed and it hurt when she swabbed it. The swab came back negative for herpes. It has since been 6 weeks and there is still some healing happening. Blood test for herpes came back negative but tested again and am waiting for results. We're anyone of you thinking herpes when you got your first Barth cyst? ( infected one) I think if it was bartholin cyst it was an infected one

I first noticed a small hard bump on vagina like near the clit when i was younger (maybe 11-12) i have never had any sexual contact before. Sometime later i got another one and i scratched and it caused a bump like rash that was really itchy all over my vagina. It's been awhile since i've got them again but lately it has started up again. I have started to worry about it being herpes because i have become sexually active. They are single bumps (do not show up in clusters) that may be itchy or tender if i touch them but they have not formed blisters. I have gotten them about 4 times now in the past couple of months. Also i have started to get sores spots on the inside of my mouth

I am 2 days into the vinegar treatment. I can't reach them on my back to use duct tape. Too many anyway. Does anyone out there have them on
their back? Does just the vinegar help?

I have posted on here before but had a couple more questions:
I have been having what I would call a swelling feeling/inflammation near my rectum for a few months now. When I wipe, I can feel some little raised areas. They come and go and will sometimes itch and I have had blood in my BM around 5 times but not for about 2 months now. They never really hurt but can be tender if the skin is pulled the wrong way. I was just able to see them a little better a couple nights ago and it looks like two whiteish bumps right near the opening. Before when I looked I thought they appeared red. Are these hemorrhoids? Could they be anal warts? Skin tags? Or something else?
I recently had a pap and everything was normal. And a few days ago I got very sick with strep throat/tonsillitis and had to have a lot of blood work done. I had a complete blood count done as well as a white blood count and everything came back normal there so I think any type of cancer could be ruled out right? So really what is left besides hemorrhoids that would act and look and feel this same way? I should also mention, that since I have been sick, it's gotten a little worse. The bumps and irritation come and go (never 100% completely go away but get significantly better at times). But since I've been sick I have literally sat or laid down on the bed or couch for 5 straight days with next to no physical activity. That's probably why it's acting up again.

I was with a women who clearly had genital warts. When she pulled her underwear down they were visible and she then covered them with her hand. I told her I couldn't have sex with her and she became angry and grabbed my penis with the same hand she had just touched her warts with. I washed myself with soap and hot water afterwards.

Recently found out that I have genital herpes. It's scaring me because I'm a lesbian and I feel like I will never be able to have sex again. I have a couple of questions.
I'm in a relationship with a woman, would she contract herpes by giving me oral sex when I don't have an "outbreak"? Can she contract the virus orally?
What's are the risks and probabilities?
Can you have herpes 1 in your genitals or is it only herpes 2 in your genitals. What does this really mean?

I'm a 27 year old woman and I've recently developed an extremely itchy rash on my back and hives- only on left side. At first i thought it was hives but usually when j get hives they are whitish but these are more red and some have a scabby surface. I haven't had any "pain" or burning but the itching is bad enough to where I can't sleep. This is around the 6th day with them. I will post a picture of what they looked like the first day vs now.

Just recently, after considering myself to be pretty healthy person, I was shocked when my doctor told me that my regular yearly blood tests showed that my bad cholesterol levels were way too high. He immediately prescribed me simvastatin, together with insisting I make even more dietary changes and start to exercise (which is a bit of a problem due to my bad back).
Simvastatin caused me to feel sick for weeks, I was barely able to work and I insisted to be switched to different medication. Now I’m on Lipitor, and if anyone could explain me what are the major differences between simvastatin and Lipitor?

New or kind of new to the shingles "party." Actually since last year have been having outbreaks, and thought it was hives. Now I'm realizing it is really shingles now, and maybe before hives? Have had eczema off and on since 1 year old. So, not new to skin issues!
Question: is shooting pain a hallmark symptom of shingles. Although I believe have a rather mild case, there have been times that I get very sharp shooting pains in my forearms where I do have an intensely red rash. So bad that I can't hold a book or phone. Have to wait for them to subside.
Is shingles easy to diagnose, and what exactly distinguishes hives from shingles. If I do a google image search on both, they look virtually identical. Is it the amount of pain or what? Am confused, but always knew I would wind up with shingles. Have actually had chickenpox TWICE. Once as a kid (with mumps at same time), and then the horror of chickenpox as an adult.

I’ve had problems with high cholesterol for years, but it wasn’t causing me any major issues until recently when I had to be hospitalized because one of my arteries was almost completely clogged. I’m waiting for the stent placement surgery and in the meantime I was given two medications that are supposed to lower my cholesterol: Zocor and Zetia.
Ever since I started taking them I feel more tired than usual and the nurse said that is relatively common side effect from Zocor, but I’m not really sure what is the difference between Zocor and Zetia and do i need both of them to lower my cholesterol?

My father (now 81 yrs) was diagnosed with Parkinsonism some years ago. My understanding is that Parkinsonism is considered to be a "cousin" of full-blown Parkinson's disease. Is it as bad as Parkinson's?

Lately I've been taking lithium (this will be week 3) I finally feel I am sort of seeing a difference. I can actually think now, understand things a little better, and overall I'm feeling good. But I need to know is lithium supposed to make your moods go up and down while you are still getting used to the meds? For examp. last week (which was wk 2) I was completely manic in front of my stupid coworkers. I had no idea until I was sitting on the bus to go home. Also I've been switching moods. Like from depression to mania....
