Please help me! Herpes OB

Somebody please help me because I am going out of my mind. I slept with an ex of mine in November last year. 

STDs honestly did not even cross my mind because I was so naive and trusting. I know him! What an idiot. I feel sick thinking about it. 

Anyway two weeks after, I went to a GUM clinic and was testeed for the usual. Dr looked around answers said I look healthy. All tests came back neg. 

My friend has OCD and herpes didn’t even pop into my head until she mentioned it. I’ve been a wreck ever since. I’ve never had a typical OB. I’ve had spots on my buttocks but I’ve treat them and they’ve gone away.... 

Fast forward six months. My genital area felt quite irritated. And looked a bit red. Again no spots blisters etc. I bought and otc thrush treatment and that seemed to do the trick. 

Tonight. I felt a bit of tingling in my butt crack. Didn’t think much of it as I’ve had a fungal infection there recently. As the night goes on I’m getting itchier. So I get my torch out and have a look and I’ve got red lumps/spots in my butt crack and on both buttocks.  

I can’t sleep I’m wracked with worry and shame. I’m an anxious person anyway and I just can’t bear the thought of this. I’m 31, never married. No kids. My life will be over if I have this. I’ll never live a normal life all because I fell for the wrong person I’m a mess. 

Does this sound like it could be a herpes OB? I’m not in pain but I’m now very aware of these spots on my butt so now every twinge every tingle is suspicious. I don’t know how I’ll sleep. I’m shaking with worry! Someone please help me 😢

It doesn’t sound like herpes, which causes pain not itching. Thesres only one way to be certain though. Go to the clinic and have them swab the area. You need to do it quick though because the virus only shows up for 2-3 days

Thanks for the reply. Well I’ve woke up this morning and it’s disappeared! I mean these were huge hot lumpy spots all over. How can they just disappear overnight I’m so confused! 

If they disappeared that quickly, it doesn’t sound like herpes.  Maybe you just had some irritation from a certain body wash, underwear, etc.  If those spots do come back, go get them swabbed.  That’s the best way to tell!
