Do i have herpies ?

Um well im 12 ive done nothing bad .. to get them or anything but i have little bumps you know where can this be a sighn of ingrown hair or something ? (Im a male )

Answer:
Herpes simplex virus 1 usually causes cold sores, but it can also cause genital herpes.

Herpes simplex virus 2 usually causes genital herpes, but it can also cause cold sores.

Herpes simplex virus 3 is responsible for shingles and the chicken pox.

The ONLY kind of herpes that is considered a STD is genital herpes because it is almost always spread by sex or some sort of sexual contact. Cold sores are NOT considered a STD since they are usually spread by kissing someone who has them, or drinking after someone who has them.

MILLIONS of people have cold sores. It's estimated as much as 75 - 80% of the WORLD has them. Children usually get them when they are young by being kissed by a relative who has cold sores, like their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

Cold sores are usually large, painful blisters, not "little bumps". You might just have a pimple or something. You can always have a parent or another adult look at it and even make you an appointment to see a doctor if you are really concerned. Good luck!
Um well if youve never done anything to get them your pretty much in the clear. bumps on the penis are pretty normal and since you mentiond hair you may have done some reasurch when growing up and hitting puberty you will get hair follicles i still have them and so do many people almost all people its quite normal. small bumps around the shaft of your thing. normal
things like http://yourstdhelp.com/herpes.html... or http://yourstdhelp.com/hpv.html... not normal. otherwise your cool man just chill..
