Can be: Time for an evaluation by your physician. Blood work and cultures are likely. Early intervention with Valtrex (valacyclovir) can help prevent future outbreaks of herpes.

Yes: This is a classical symptom of gonorrhea or possibly chlamydia. There could be other germs involved that have no symptoms yet or ever. STD's can be passed in groups. Time to seek confirmation and treatment before this gets worse.
