im really freaking out.
i have been with my partner for 2 years, he hasnt ever had sex and i had sex in a previous relationship which was monogamous, but both bfs have never had a cold sore / genital herpes/warts either or anything - and are STD free. i dont really know how i could be infected - if i have got herpes.
it started off after shaving... i had a pimple which i picked as it was ingrown hair. the sore was small and then it got bigger and a spot nearby the sore also got infected because i picked that one too (yay me). it appeared like a vesicle shape once developed, almost like a hole with a yellowish centre which freaked me out, and has been healing but it has been painful, chafing against my knickers and hurting when i walk as its near the crevice of my bum. this first one was on my right bum cheek area.. it started having pus inside and ive been draining it here and there but today didnt touch it at all. now around the sore the skin has become hard which is because theres infection in there (and dry because ive been applying hibi scrub which actually heped a little)
i have since had a sore on another part down there - next to the groin, it has healed quite quickly.
and another one has emerged today which i feel may be because my skin became irritated after using the hibiscrub (it is an anti microbal solution).. this one is fairly smaller and on the left side of my bum cheek. but after frantic googling im almost convinced i have herpes. i visited my GP today who said it doesnt seem like herpes but that if i am worried i should go to my local sexual health clinic. she has prescribed me fluxolaccin (sp?) for a course of 7 days. i am going to go to the sexual health coinic tomorrow or thursday but i am freaking the f*ck out. i feel like shit things always happen to me and im so sick of life!
IS IT HERPES? DOES IT LOOK LIKE HERPES?
heres a pic of two of the sores (only ones i have at the moment):
SORRY i attached the same pic twice lol
HERES A PIC OF THE FIRST SORE
please help! i am so scared and desperate. i feel a bit feverish right now too with muscle aches and just tiredness. i feel a bit short of breath too and very cold. i dont know if i am overthinking this
firstly calm down! you wont do yourself any favours. it could just be an infected cysts or hair follicle.
It’s more looks like an ingrown hair.
see a doctor for being sure
It looks more like an infected hair follicle, doesn’t really look like an ulcer
are you sure? this one looks like an ulcer to me .. sorry about the hair - i havent shaved since i started getting ingrown spots
ok so i went GP yesterday who said she doesnt feel it is herpes but that i can double check at the sexual health clinic. i later made a trip to emergency room because i was running a high fever quite randomly and many body aches/headaches - i showed the woman my sores and she said she doesnt think it is herpes but they cant test it at the hospital for emergencies. ugh.. i am still NOT convinced!
did you get the results?
those symptoms are apart of herpes
