about a month ago i developed a condition on both thighs. the right thigh is the primary problem. i woke up in the middle of the night and felt and itch...not thinking i scratched it. went back to sleep. the next morning i noticed a series of red bumps on my right and left thighs. about 4 on the left and a larger area (about 2 in. in diameter) on the right. Since then they have not itched and are not painful. they were raised slightly but did not have any pus or fluid in them. they redden after a shower but in the morning are less pronounced. the right side has begun to heal...no longer bumps but still red patches (again esp. after a shower). no new ones have shown up. however it's been a month and am worried...taking a long time to heal. should note that i've been sweating excessively during sleep due to work/life stress (dont know if this matters). i've been tested for all stds although the results havent come back as of yet. have been worrying that it may be herpes or something. my last sexual encounter was about a week before the rash/bumps (used protection but not protected oral sex). there has been nothing on my genitals no pain burning discharge or problems urinating. any info would be much appreciated.

This sounds like irritation nothing more. Perhaps sweating blocked some pores. When you scratch you can leave marks and bumps on the skin that take weeks to subside. I'm confident your tests will prove negative. I don't think the sexual encounter will turn out to be relevant. Best.
