have taken 2 -10 panel tests- 6 months apart. All clear with no positives. The scaring is my fault due to picking at these bumps that looked like blackheads. Any ideas are appreciated as to what this might be.
did they test for hsv?
yes, both times. 10 panel covers almost anything and everything. Blood work, urine, and swabbed.
The doctors havent given you anything to go off of? I have seen this in hsv. But what were the characterisitics of the bumps? Did they only go away cause you picked them off or did they go away on their own?
i had picked them and they scared really badly. i thought maybe ingrown hairs cause they didnt pop up at once and had shortly after i had shaved. but its like once they heal, they heal and then blemish in. not a reacuuring scab. havent been sick, no swollen anything, no funky discharge, nothing at all
Hmm yeah sounds like it must of been something pore related then. I am very familiar with how herpes presents itself in females but not as much in men so sorry I cant give you more.. One thing that I do know is that with all of the testing youve had with negative results, it is more than safe to consider yourself negative.
