help with diagnosis

thats the only areas where it is

Go to the doctor 

Hello Cupid,

                  Sorry but it does look very similar to herpes, the only way to be positive that it is that is to visit your local GUM clinic while the blisters are still blisters and they will open the sores and take a swab, then get back to you with the results.

If you are experiencing a stinging/burning/itching sensation in that area its quite possible that it is herpes, take some pain killers, keep the area clean but don't spread it through contact/contamination with other areas of your body, dry with a hair dryer on low setting, i'd say use tea tree oil on the area but if your planning on going GUM with these sores then don't.

If this is your first outbreak you are likely to experience a fever and flu like symptoms, get some rest  and please don't start panicing or stressing about the situation cos that makes it worse, the first outbreak can be daunting but don't worry yourself about it, many many people have this and cope amazingly well, have sexual partners and having loving relationships so don't think your life is over or anything alike.

Hopefully it wont be herpes but as I say if it is, so what you still have a life, its just an irritating skin condition.

Well thats a good sign if you are not experiencing any type of sensation, as herpes is generally associated with the tell tale sign of itching/burning/stinging, and it is the time of year to be getting a flu so don't assume its due to herpes. Also herpes is usually in a localised area and not so spread out like that.

Don't be scared of going to the local sex clinic they deal with this type of thing all the time, its confidential, they don't judge and they are really friendly and understanding, it sounds like you might not have herpes if this area has been flared up for 2 months as herpes can last from just a couple of days to around 2 weeks, it generally blisters up, scabs over and heals with in that time period, so things are looking good for you I'm optimistic it is not herpes, get yourself checked out and either way you will be relieved to know what it is and finally stop worrying, it could just be something simple like your allergic to some new underwear or ingrown hairs.

Don't think about the future with herpes until you actually know it is for sure it is, let us know the results when you get them please.

Brilliant news, hope you've stopped worrying about it so much now, hope I can say this to you though now that you have had a sexual health scare let it be a lesson to you (not judging or assuming your promiscuous) but becareful who you sleep with and value your relationships, many people on here with herpes were not so lucky and regret having that one night stand with a stranger or a quick fling with somebody they barely know and to be left with a nasty surprise.

And Im from uk/Yorkshire Have had herpes for 5 years, caught after being in the same relationship for 6 years and we are still together after 11 years, trust me herpes is a pain to live with and if I could turn back time I would have been more careful who I had slept with, even though I was faithful to my partner, its assumed either one of us carried it dormantly or it was caught via oral, so its a warning to you be careful.
