3 days ago I noticed a little red mark by my butthole. I left it alone thinking it was a pimple, I had no itch or didn't feel any burn until the next day. I felt a little burn but figured it was a pimple again, by the end of the night i noticed it got bigger and looked like a sore kind of like the ones you get when you wear bad shoes. I freaked out so I made a doctors appointment the next day which I went to today. I searched up several pictures of genital herpes and mine didn't look similar at all. Anyway, the doctor told me it can be herpes but I won't know until the test results come back. Today the sores look like a dried up scab, but they don't itch they just hurt a little. I had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago, but the guy didn't show any symptoms and has had an std test and herpes didn't show up. What do you guys think??

    wait for the tests, the best to do. He might still hv herpes and never had an outbreak. he will be just a carrier. or else it will be so mild that it won t even show as pimples just like a rush. I had about 6 outbreak in 2 months, I know how a harsh out break is and a mild one now. A mild outbreak can easily be mistaken for just a scratch.

      I'm so just worried! sad

      Never in my life have I had an STD or anything wrong with my health.. I know they say the first outbreak is supposed to be severe but mine isn't at all, and I have no itch or pain when I pee. It's not even in my butthole it's more like on my ass cheeks. I was looking into staph infection as well,

      Hopefully that's what it is.

    Did he specifically test for herpes by IgG antibody test? It's not usually included in regular STD panels and often needs to be specially requested.
