hello i have really bad anxiety and cant seem to move on. it doesnt help that before all this I always occasionally got pimples or boils in my genital areas. so ling story short I had a little lesion in my anus no pain just tender and decided to just do a routine std check cause I had sex 4 weeks prior go into the clinic (herpes wasnt even on my mind) & she looks at me and goes "yup thats 100% herpes" mind you it was only a small little leaion no bumps no clusters no flu nothing else she took aa swab and it came back negative I started to get white patches and was told I had lichen planus. didnt get a biopsy because it went away before I could so I figured it was that because lichen can give you sores. I made the guy who was the only one I was having sex with pay for a hsv test his hsv1 reaults where high like 50. & his hsv 2 was negative when I got my blood test at 6 weeks my hsv 1 was 5. & my hsv2 was .4 (negative) I got my first cold sore two years ago so that is where hsv comes into play. I was still anxious so I took another blood test @ 12 weeks same results im trying to put this pass me but then this pops up I just dont know anymore

    She swabbed the actual sore correct? And that was negative? Then I'd say that's not herpes. if you know you have a history of cold sores, you know that's where your HSV status comes from. I'm no doctor but the sore in your picture doesnt appear herpetic to me. Almost like an infected hair follicle or ruptured boil. It just doesnt seem in eruption or resolution like a herpes lesion
