Do these tiny cuts look like herpes?
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have small fissures near my perineum. The light blue is a deeper fissure and the purple is a not so deep fissure. I don't know if you can tell but the cuts are along the folds of my skin. Any help is appreciated. Ive had doctors look in the area and say it wasn't anything but I'm still worried about it as i get fissures a lot down there. Ive had a FULL std panel and its all came back negative. I go to the gyno on Wednesday just to clarify since my doctor recommended it for my anxiety, I've seen her quite a few times for these cuts. Can anyone give me any ideas? Ive heard of Lichen Shclerosus?

the full panel tested for hsv? i only ask because most dont. do you scratch down there a lot? honestly, this seems very similar to what im going through and i still dont know either, but i am super itchy and usually end up cutting myself but have never seen anything pop up without me itching fist, but dont know why i am itchy because im negative for bv and yeast. i did test my blood and got 1.4 igg for hsv1 but my swab came back negative.....so im confused too. maybe i swabbed too late though that is a possibility. hope you find some answers. i am trying to get in with a dermatologist

Full std panel plus hsv, everything was negative 4 times. I don't itch and I usually don't notice them unless I feel a little irritation after I use the restroom or the tiniest itch. Ive been to the doctors 8+ times and each one says it isn't herpes. Its literally a crack in the skin along my folds and they always pop up before my period or if I'm stressed and go away within 2-5 days.

Hey no answers for you but i get literally the exact same thing so interested to see what your gyno says. Mine can happen after sex or just randomly and makes me itchy, my doctors have suggested yeast, dry skin/friction and also lichen s.. have no real answers though wont be referred to another gyno until next year unfortunately.

What did your gyno end up saying? the wxact same thing happens to me bloods came back 1.3 igg hsv1 but swabs came back negative. Been told by my doctor that its just from wiping and cleaning. Calmed my anxiety about it seeing that you guys have the same issue

this is the exact same thing that happens to me! i get tiny cuts on my perineum right when my period is about to start and it goes away after my period. told my doctor about it and he said its normal for irritation around that time but im going to get a second opinion because it gets happening.. im really anxious about it!

Hey i know this was months ago and you probably wont see this, but I was wondering if you found out what this was? This is happening to me right now and i've tested negative for hsv with swab, igg and western blot.
