I’m scared this maybe

I went to the doc a couple months ago. for some bumps that came out of no where inside of my butt cheek. They never bled nor did they have any pus. They just were itchy and when I Wore certain underwear it Irritated it. My doc didnt test it but told me it wasnt herpes. Just within the past week they came back. I made the horrible mistake and scratched them. And now its painful. I know with herpes, you can have no symptoms. But i have been on google SCARING myself. Telling myself i have herpes. (i go to the doc this week) But I am Terrified!

go get it swabbed before it heals, looks like herpes sores to me

docs appt is Wed. But if it heals before i go. Can the doc still test that area?

He can’t swab it if the sores have healed - only blood tests. A swab is much more accurate. That looks an awful lot like herpes.

i just recently went to the ER for a unrelated issue and had a lot of blood work done. and my blood test came back fine.

they wouldnt test for hsv unless requested or you had an outbreak. doubke check bloodwork

i feel like im about to have a mental breakdown!

that looks very much like herpes. open sores to be exact

At the begging i had a lot of anxiety crisis and herpes sometimes can be very difficult to diagnose. i would recommend a double check by blood tests after 16 weeks of exposure or swab the open sores.
by educating myself i realized that its just a pretty common skin condition.
now just waiting my results (blood test) and i’m okay if its positive.
also i had a conversation with my partner and he is ok with that. you just need to be more cautious, have protected sex and not have sex when you’re on an outbreak, the chances of passing it its pretty low.
take care of yourself, eat health food, talk with your doctor about antivirals and you’ll be ok.

u need to do a blood test specific for hsv
i already had type 1 on my mouth, and now was tested for type 2.
if it’s negative i’ll have to wait to get it swabbed too, i tried to do it but it always heals before i can go to the doctor.

Question for anyone that had herpes…When you showered did it burn when water touched it?

yes it did. it stung when i peed as well. felt like somethjng similar to when you shower with a fresh cut on your leg or something.

how do u and your partner deal with oral sex? i recently found out i have herpes and i have no idea what to do

hey did you ever get blood test results back ?

I had almost the exact same sores on my buttcrack, got a swap done and tested negative, but I’m worried that it was because it was almost healed. I’m currently waiting on my blood test results.

hey did you get your blood test back cause i have the same thing i just emailed my doctor and sent pics iam hella scared right now

hello , did you ever get your results backs ? im very scared im 25 and i have similar bumps

what did your results come back as?
