    Oh no.... that looks exactly how mine looked before I got diagnosed with herpes.... I’m married and neither my husband or myself have cheated. But, he gave it to me from his past relationship. He’s never broken out. But I did.... and it was horrible. Does it hurt to pee?

      They tested you and it all came back positive ? I have never had this before . How do you know he gave it to you ? And no it doesnt hurt to pee just when i walk or sit.

      Yes... I just found out not even a month ago that I have #2. They took a swab, sent it to the lab and it came back positive. I was shattered. You have no idea how much that completely tore me apart. I’m much better now. I’ve done my fair share of research and know that this is very common. The first outbreak is always the worst. I’m scared for my second one to come, I thought my period would have brought it out, but so far so good. (I don’t want to speak too soon) and yes, I believe my husband has it, and didn’t even know.... or and a very BIG or, I could have gotten it from my past. Although I’ve only been with 2 people in 13 years. I have no idea how I got this, or when, or how. I just know I have it and I have to deal with it. Keep me posted on when you get your results and what the dr says.... you’ll be okay.

    It does look like herpes blisters but could be caused by something else. 

    If it is herpes it doesn’t mean one of you has cheated I was in the same position I’d been with my partner for a while when I got my first outbreak. 

    You could have caught it from a previous partner and only now had an outbreak, I think this is what happened to me as we were moving house and stressed which can apparently trigger an outbreak. 

    Or your partner has the virus already without even knowing it as the symptoms can be extremely mild in men and he’s passed it to you during a symptomless outbreak xx

      It just doesnt make sense to only get it now . I know it stays dormant but 7 years ? 3 years And now a year ? So 10 years it took so get an out break .

    It could be something completely different, you said you’ve been scratching from the razor burn maybe you have just blistered the skin doing that. 

    At least you have an appointment tomorrow then you’ll know for sure...to be honest I know everyone is different but peeing was absolute agony for me so if that’s no problem for you it does sound like it could be something different

    I was in complete denial, I looked at every single possible other thing it could be. Mine hurt to walk, or sit.... i thought it was a bad yeast infection... then I looked and saw what you have. This for me happened on the Thursday night, I went through the whole weekend and it got so bad to pee. I can’t even explain the pain. I guess it algo depends on where your sores are located down there. Mine were all in the clitorus. So so so painful.

      Mine absolutely sucked. But I also had a Uti with it. I couldn't go to the bathroom. And tbh I had to wait atleast a good 2 weeks before able to go to the bathroom, the only thing different is I had bumps all over but they turned into boils. Are the blisters bleeding or leaking out a yellow puss? I mean from my understanding herpes is Very painful.
