    Hi

    It does look similar to what i had yes. It might be a good idea to get it checked out - yes it's embarrassing but you'll be glad you did if it does turn out to be herpes - it clears up much more quickly if you start taking the drugs early. I left it for a good few days before going to the docs and wish I'd gone earlier.

    If it's type 1 outbreaks are less frequent - I had my first two months ago and no reoccurence as yet.

    Hope it's not HSV obviously! But if it is, it's not the end of the world. I'm married and I had to confess to my wife that I'd had a bj. I won't say she was fine about it - but we're working it through. And even if we have to use condoms from now on, (I'm not sure we will - just being careful at the moment) in a weird way it's brought us closer. We're actually talking about things!

    Hope you get it sorted.

      its been about a week and I feel like they’re blisters but they’re flat and I don’t remember them hurting I’m a little bit on the heavier side so I thought it was just chafing but I don’t really know and then the one on my anus worries me it’s just it’s flat notice how it’s healed do you think that’s herpes?

      and like u say it could be from friction or if u shave thats also possible they do look like small blisters and that warrants a doctor taking a look
