Does this look like Herpes?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Recently had sex with a new partner, we both dont believe we have not come in contact with anyone. this is day 4 after i noticed it. It doesnt look like the typical pictures but it is soreish and has been getting worse since. i did get tested today but im a nervous wreck. anyone have an opinion?

    Update: This is HSV-1 and im so glad i got tested. I am not worried about this diagnosis and I believe that i will be okay. Its SO common and its okay! i had no other symptoms other than this rash. I hope if anyone is concerned that they just get tested its OK! please feel free to reply if you need anything! be safe and be healthy!
