so this has come up, what do people think? i had a scare a while ago and had a swab test come back negative. but it has happened a few times after that..i have recently used fragranced soap aswell and know to have sensitive skin. aswell every time it happens its always while hair is growing back. thank you
and after having a bath they have turnt to this
i
i
it could possible by a heat rash or razor rash… i experience the same except i dont experience the development of white blisters.. mine are clear and they pop and jusr scab..
swabs arent 100% accurate. the test is somewhat reliable the first 48 hrs of having the sores swabbed. anything after that, the herpes virus retreats back into the body and is no longer present on the surface of the skin. so a swab wont detect the herpes virus even if you have it (false negative). those look like herpes blisters
If it happens often this is more than likely herpes. Also judging by the clusters of blisters. Sometimes you can get a negative result when there isnt enough of the virus present in the sores. For example you notice the outbreak but dont have it swabbed for another 4 days by that time it will already be in the healing process. what area is this exactly it looks like your pelvic area but im not sure but herpes can appear on distal parts of the body
