      Do they sting? Does it hurt when you pee? Swollen lymph nodes in your groin? If yes, then that is a strong indicator of herpes. If not, it's actually kinda hard to say for sure, because herpes has many "looks". The best thing to do is to get them swab tested for herpes asap, before they start to heal.

      Hmmm, since they sting and were preceded by what felt like a urine infection, there's a chance it could be herpes. Keep an eye out for swollen glands in your bikini line and definitely get the lesions swabbed and typed asap.

      I was tested for the urine infection and the dr said I had one though... I didn't think they looked like herpes but I'm so scared! I will actually kill myself if it is 😭

      I said there's a *chance*. It may not be herpes as well, and maybe the UTI really was just a UTI and not herpetic urethritis. Did the UTI respond to the meds and clear up? Did your urine test positive for bacteria? It's not possible to accurately diagnose herpes online, hence why a swab test is advisable when in doubt and lesions are present, but swab tests lose accuracy over time, so get it done asap if you want to know for sure. Killing yourself over herpes is just silly talk, so I'm not even going to comment any further on that!

      If it's HSV1, it's not really that bad. Most people carry it somewhere, usually the mouth, and in a way it's worse to have it orally. HSV2 is different, but you don't know what you have yet, if even definitely herpes, so wait till you get your results back. 👍
