Herpes Doctor

Hi

This guy I am dating for over a year now has these
red scab like dots on both his upper thighs. 9 on one thigh, 7 on the other. He said it was because we had long sweaty sex together on March 5th that the rubbing has caused him ingrown pimples which he said he picked at & that's why they are all dry scabs-like. He said because I was riding him on top the friction caused this. A week later that's when I saw the scab-like pimples & panicked thinking could this be herpes?

I looked at so many photos on the net & it doesn't look blister like but then again it is in scab form so how do I know.

He had a cold sore on his lip middle of February which he burst, could it be possible that he might of scratched himself & infected his thighs with the virus?

on March 13th he was mad at me because I don;t want to have sex & rub up against him. So I kept my nylons on and made him slit the crotch part so we can have sex & my skin would have some protection. Could I catch it if there was nothing on his penis. I screwed up though on the 15th cuz i am stoopid, I was riding him & not sure if my legs touched those scab like pimples.. it was nite time & dark. When I asked to see his thighs in the light he said no.I said why? He says cuz I make a big deal & it's nothing.
Are these lies or could it be he has the virus. I am soooooooooooo worried! Maybe he doesn't even really know what it is!Please let me know how common is it on the thighs. If I just rub against it & have no open cuts will I immediatley catch it. I am checking my legs all the time now.
