Could this be herpes?

I have been experiencing excessive pain and noticed these a couple days ago. I am very scared it could be a herpes outbreak and I don’t know what else it could possibly be. At first i thought it could have been minor cuts, but now I have more than one

I’m not an expert at all, as I am trying to figure out whether mine looks like herpes. Are you experiencing any discomfort? Itching?

Yes, it is very painful and I can’t even wipe properly because of how much it stings.
There’s some itching, it’s mostly pain whenever I sit or wipe

ohhh, sorry to hear that. Try to bath with sea salt, it will make you feel slightly better (it helped me a lot). In the mean time try to see a doctor.

looks similar to mine. the doctor said it’s herpes I’m also waiting on my swab test. how was yours?

nh_user_1320257 · July 10, 2020, 8:46am

I am sorry for the late reply. I recently got my test results back and I was positive for HSV type 1. A few days after I posted these pictures I noticed way more throughout the whole genital area. It has been around 2 weeks taking my medication and the lesions have finally stopped hurting.
I hope your results come back negative!
