i think i am a hypochondriac and ive been having severe anxiety about my health. at the same time i am very afraid to go get checked because im scared of the possibility of bad results. could this be herpes or fordyce spots??? i havent had sex for 2 years because im so scared of disease. i had unprotected sex with 4 men within 6 months the last time i was sexually active and i was diagnosed with chlamydia. that diagnosis is when my illness anxiety started. im worried that ive had herpes all this time and dont know it. ive never had any real symptoms and this is the first time im seeing anything that looks close to blisters.

    it doesnt look too concerning but you should get checked for peace of mind. Even if it is positive it is better than the unknown. STDs can happen to anyone thats ever had sex, period. it is ok, just try to practice safe sex and know your status

    the top ones appear normal. the bottom ones are quite concerning. did you get them swabbed?
