hi everyone so last week monday i experienced what i think is herpes. i had the typical open sores that started with my anus and then they started popping up on my vagina vulva and labia. but now its been its about 3 days and the sores have literally dissapeared they didnt scab or anything as if they werent even there in the first place. the ones on my anus are still healing though but no scabbing or anything. is this normal in herpes?

    My first herpes sore healed in 4 days so they can heal quickly. The ones that pop up first are the ones that will disappear the fastest.

      i was just checking your account. you have been replying to people saying what looks like herpes etc. but you are not even sure yourself if u have it because you dont know what your test results mean. its not fair on people to tell them something you are not so sure off yourself.

      That's why its best to go get checked. This platform is okay to get information, but you won't be satisfied until you get checked and know for sure. Someone told me that my symptoms i was having was normal but i knew it was something else. Just go to the doctor.

      thanks for your reply. i did go to my gp and she told me it looks like contact dermititis. but im still having doubts because it just looks so much like herpes. im scared to get tested because i dont know what to do with myself and how to tell my husband

      I understand you. Also have your partner to go and get checked out as well for both of your protection.
