Not sure how to tell difference?!

I did get my HSV-1 through intercourse though it was not from oral.

That is possible, but less common. I was told that it's also not very common to get GH after just one encounter, yet I managed to. Hate being one of the few exceptions, lol!

koolredd -- that's part of my issue!!  

 I also have Lichen Schlerosus (an autoimmune skin issue that some ladies get), so I'm using a cream called Clobetasol, as well as a weekly dose of estrogen cream (TMI for the gents in this discussion!).  So, I'm not sure if the irritation is just irritation, or my second ( small) OB.    

I'm grateful for the medicine, but it can be a bit overwhelming!
