Is this a herpes lesion? I've already went and gotten tested for it and I'm waiting on the results but I'm FREAKING OUT I feel like my world is about to crumble down around me

That's good you had the correct test done. Depending on the type of swab test (pcr vs viral culture) and clinic (public vs private), it could take anywhere between a couple of days to a week or so.

That's what mine looked like
But I had more than one
I hear it's rare for there just to be one

I had about 4/5 maybe?
I didn't get symptoms I wasn't ill or have flu symptoms with mine
I wasn't in excruciating pain or anything like that it just felt a bit sore when I weed but not painful enough to make me cry and when I walked I could just tell it was there
That was about it really

Actually, herpes can be a single lesion, and even if not, they do not need to be clustered, plus the fluid-filled stage can be easily missed. So, I would try not to speculate one way or the other, but just wait for your results and hope that it's something else. If you haven't had any risky encounters in the last couple of weeks and this is the first time you've had such a sore, then there's a good chance that it's not herpes. Good luck!

Have you had an sexual encounters recently ??
Could be herpes .. self diagnosis is the worst type .
If it is herpes everything will be just fine
& if it isn't count your blessings and be thankful that you missed a bullet.

Yeah the waiting is honestly killlllling me. I've communicated with my past sexual partner and he stated he was getting checked this coming Monday. But I should have my results by then... everything I searched has lead me back to this. So I'm sure everyone can understand my worry..

Depends when you started the meds. If started late, it doesn't have as much impact.

Well guys, I had a discussion with my last sexual partner and he is having symptoms of herpes as well... so it's not looking good on my end. My results were suppose to be in yesterday but weren't...I don't think I'm upset... just disappointed and have a pretty disgusted feeling about myself

.... You should just wait for your results before anything.
If you do have it then everything will be okay .. God wouldn't put you through it if he didn't think you could get through it.
Herpes ain't nothing but a skin condition that comes and goes .
Where did this come from ?
If you weren't sexually active with anyone else ., that means he was ? Unprotected at that 😭

Luckily, I'm very good friends with my ex still, even after our break up... we had a discussion on the last time both of us had been checked.. and neither one of us have ever had symptoms before (I know some doctors won't check unless you have shown symptoms before) we both agreed that neither one of us knows where it came from, because I've read that it can lay dormant in your body. So who honestly knows.... I know I should wait until I get my results back.. but the suspense!!!!
