Is this herpes? Bumps and scabs on inner thighs

Hi All,

Recently moved to a very humid city and thought I was just experiencing chafing. It felt and looked like chafing 5 days ago. Put some gold bond on it and that relived it a bit. Woke up three days ago and had what looked like blisters (that what I now know fit the description of herpes blisters). Have been putting Lotrimin on my groin Itching has gone away, but some other blisters have formed.

I havent had sex in two months (oral or vaginal) and prior to that I only had sex with the same person since January 2016. We were monogamous (i know for certain). I know the virus can lay latent for that long, but its more rare so thats why i have an ounce of hope. I also didnt see many that looked like mine, so have an ounce of hope.


I have an appointment tomorrow, but based on what i have read i may be in the weird timeline of 1. the site not having active HSV and 2. too early to have antibodies. Hoping for a miracle.

Good luck let us know! Some posts i am certain of, not too certain with yours since it kinda looks like a dried up rash and symptoms typically appear sooner than 2 months but everyone is different.

update: not herpes. NP said blisters were too big and are not scabbing like or ulcerating like herpes would. Thanks for the support here!
