What Causes Urethral Itching And Ulcers In The Mouth?
Hello. For the past few days, I have been very itchy down there, and just yesterday I found about 4 white, pimple-like bumps on the inside of my lips. I am scared that it might be herpes, but the pimples are not clusters and are not too near each other. Also, the area around them is not red like it tends to be with herpes. The pimples are painful, but perhaps from me scratching them too much. I am also having a thick, white discharge that seems to be aggravating those bumps even more. What could it be? I also tried to use raw egg whites for lubrication last week, and am wondering if maybe I got an infection from that. Please let me know what you think.

Hello,
Yes, it sounds like herpes and you should do further testing. I need to say that these symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially, if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge, and recent sexual intercourse. So, this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be a sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common.
In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till then try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse and rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
