Question : I have a really weird bump on the outside of my knee. I recently got a panel of STD testing which came back negative and I even requested herpes testing. This bump looks like herpes. It is isolated to this part of my knee but very worried.

Now at 100 days without sex (oral) and 130 days without vaginally sex. This bump is concerning. Just popped up today. My only contact with a female was a week ago and she sat on my lap. I had on basketball shorts. She had on boy shorts.

This was several days ago. Your system is broken. I do not have the pic as the bump is now gone.

This can be closed. Thank you for all your help over the last month.

again, your system is broken and the delay has caused hiccups.

The attached picture you see appears to be a white person.
