i went to get examined twice and was told there was no need to be tested, that it was just irritation from a pad/underwear/etc. It keeps recurring every month to two months and its super itchy.. usually last for a few days each time. i’ve been going to planned parenthood to get it looked at, but should i go elsewhere to get a different opinion on if its herpes or not or am i overreacting? they just showed up this time and they’re like a cluster of blisters right now. in the past, they popped and had a yellow tinted crust to them. they usually stay in this one spot as well - just trying to give out any info that might help.
looks similar to mines and i just got diagnosed with hsv 2
this is them this morning. Do you think i should go to a different doctor?
or should i wait until after they pop to get a swab?
You should get them swabbed before they pop. Try to get in as soon as possible. I know it’s scary, but better to find out for sure instead of worrying. Good luck.
thank you. i just scheduled an app for tomorrow through an actual OB. if planned parenthood failed to diagnose me properly because “it doesnt look like typical herpes”, im going to be so pissed with them. my experience with them definetley seemed super unprofessional. i have some hair down there which i get can make it somewhat difficult to see whats going on, but the lady who checked it out didnt even look where i told her it was, even when i pointed it out.
the person im assuming gave it to me and i havent talked in almost half a year and we didnt leave off on a very good note.. should i bring it up to him if i do test positive? the thing that initially made me think it was herpes, after having blisters appear 2 days after we had sex, is he mentioned the lube we used made him have an “allergic reaction and we shouldnt use it again”…
also i have a 14 month old son.. can i still give him kisses when im having an outbreak if it isnt on my mouth or should i wait until im not having an outbreak?
what was the result if you dont mind?
im waiting to get tested right now. at the doctors. ill post results when i get them
if its not in your mouth you can most definitely still give him kisses! oral herpes and genital are different things so as long as its just on your genitals you should be more than okay!
Good luck! Please do let us know if you don’t mind. I somehow have the same look of outbreak from yours.
what was the result?
they said results usually take 1-2 days and its now been 4 days. i called yesterday and they said results are still pending. ill be calling again tomorrow.
i appreciate the update. good luck and please do let us know.
have you gotten the results yet?
blood test came back negative but was also told by the nurse that it doesnt always show up in blood. she told me to get it swabbed when i have another outbreak, which is why im back here. im going to try to get an appointment set up for monday since theyre closed tomorrow. i hate not knowing whats going on with my body
