    I don't think it can be herpes, I have never had unprotected sex and have only had a very small number of partners over my life. Can't actually even remember what year it was I last had sex haha... I've never even had a cold sore...

    If it was shingles wouldn't they be other places? These are only on the perineal lining of anus....

    Have you seen a doctor since your last post about seeing a nurse? And if so, what did they say?

    Herpes can spread through skin to skin contact and live on the areas not covered by a condom, so even protected sex can unfortunately spread it.

    I believe genital herpes is a different strain to the type you get on your mouth, so you could have herpes down below without having the oral herpes strain. Also it can live dormant for a long while before it presents itself. I have a close friend who suffers from herpes and hers came out a few months after having sex and she used protection.

    Could be worth while checking this out, as there’s suitable treatment that would help with the symptoms if it was this. My friend now takes tablets to keep the herpes at bay and hasn’t had any further reoccurrences x

    I know how it feels to wait for doctors appointments, I always get myself it’s a real state thinking I have some sort of cancer, and forget the fact other causes are far more likely. Try to relax until Monday, I’m sure the doctor will have a look and be able to give you a simple harmless cause and hopefully something to treat it. I don’t know how old you are, but anal cancer is fairly rare and would be very low down on a list of possible causes. x

    You should have been seen by a Doctor and not been left worrying. I've had what I thought we're piles but was actually an absess. Very painful but easily treated with an antibiotic. Try to insist on seeing a doctor.

    My suggestion is to install a bidet. Use water. Its gentle and doesnt make your ass tissue tear. And if really there’s blood, at least you know it isnt from over wiping.
