Sexual health
1

I notices little blisters with hair coming out when i shaved , the scaby one was like the ones around it an then it turned into a scab an i thought it was going away until just today more popped up , please help if you have any information

2

Ps. i havent had a new sexual partner since november 23rd

3

get it swabbed if your worried!
looks slightly bacterial to me maybe from a old razor.

4

there does seem to be more blisters forming though! its abnormal so id get a doctor to have a look at it!

5

thats what i was thinking but the only thing is i used a clippers trimmer

6

i see fluid filled blisters and with the ulcer it appears to be herpes

7

if i havent had sex since dec 4th it can take that long for them to pop up?

8

it can. the virus can stay dormant for long periods of time before your first outbreak

9

oh okay im going to get checked on monday

10

oh right! best off to get it checked!
is it painful?

11

yeah. its also possible you were having an outbreak before this a didnt realize it. but keep us posted.

12

im just confused because my gf gets checked cause she was pregnant an the the last time we had sex was on the 4th an she gave birth on the 5th , just thought if i had it they would have seen it in all her blood samples they took

13

thats a common misconception, that when your blood is drawn, if you have it they’ll see it, but thats not the case. they cant find herpes antibodies unless they are specifically testing for it with the equipment and chemicals used to test for herpes. so you and her would both have to go request a herpes blood test for both types.

14

okay so mine did the same thing but it didnt pop up no where else it was only in one spot and mine was only itching and it hurt when i wore tight bottoms do you think its herpes too?

15

16

and i have just shaved like 1 day before it popped up and i havent had any new sex partners

17
