Hello everyone, if you saw any of my previous posts I'm currently dealing with some anxieties when it comes to herpes. I would've been exposed to it in March and I haven't had any major outbreaks only little cuts. Ive seen 5-8 different doctors and they've all ruled out herpes. I couldn't get the cuts swapped because by the time I get to the doctors they've already healed. The last doctor I saw looked at the cuts I had at the time said it wasn't herpes and refused to do a blood test because she said those weren't accurate- so I took it upon myself to get tested from a clinic and 2 at home blood tests which came back negative, and if I did had herpes I'm sure I would've had antibodies show up since it was back in March if I had gotten exposed. I noticed that the cuts come after having intercourse or whenever I have a lot of friction in that area ex: tight clothes or jeans or sometimes just show up. Why the heck do I get tiny little cuts out of no where?! What else could this be? Ive also gotten cuts down there before I was sexually active.

Hi Lizette - have you looked into lichen sclerosus? the main symptoms are paper cut like tears and extreme itchiness

Have you gotten tested? I got three tests done and all came back Negative and the doctor even ruled out herpes since I explained to her I get cuts after I wear tight clothes or rough sex

No i haven't gotten tested but i'm pretty sure i have herpes it can't be anything else because they are too frequent plus i get no blisters but random scabs on my skin for no reason which confirms it but i am going to get tested on the 13th i'm so scared for the results this literally make me think of suicide dealing with this

No please don't think that way. There can be other skin conditions that cause fissures and cuts down there. Herpes is a liveable virus. You can still have kids and still have sex life. It's going to be okay, it might be hard but think positively.
