a week ago i noticed these cuts after wiping and seeing a little blood on tissue. imagethe cuts healed after a couple of days but i've been having intense itching/burning round my inner thighs and under my bum cheeks ever since. it kinda feels like chafing but the skin isnt red at all. its been about 6 days and its not going away. its driving me insane and im scared it might be genital herpes. do the cuts look liker herpes 'cuts'?

      thanks for getting back to me! theyve already healed now so it looks like im gonna have to wait to see if it happens again. the waiting is driving me insane. what other symptoms did you have with your outbreaks? and this tingling feeling between my thighs isnt going away, did you experience anything like that?

      does the tingling feeling typically occur where your outbreak occurs? and how long does the tingling and leg sensation last? does it go away once the sores heal?

    if you any open sores, i would recommend you get tested, i thought my outbreak was just cuts... i have been diagnosed for a month, i promise things will get better.

      thanks for getting back to me. how often do you have outbreaks and do you ever experience tingling after the sores have healed? i'm really scared the feeling isnt going away.
