Notes on Herpes??

It looks and sounds like herpes. It is appearing unilaterally? Seems so from the picture, but just want clarification in case there's more we can't see. If it is unilateral, personally I'd say that further points to herpes. Do you already have cold sores? If not, the lab should be testing the sample for both HSV-1 and 2. Genital herpes does not automatically = HSV-2, in fact, new cases of genital herpes are about 50/50 type 1 and 2 nowadays.

See a specialist. It's very hard to get a diagnosis visually. All doctors have have a different opinion. Go get a culture done as soon as you see another lesion. Within the first two days. The sooner the better!

I am no doctor, but that does look like herpes. I hope nope, but you need a culture or swab asap!

you need an obgyn stop going to the er wasting money. go to someone who sees vaginas everyday. those blisters are very questionable so i can see why you suspect herpes.
