I have been with the same partner for about 5 years and neither of us have herpes, but i do get cold sores and i am very clean and safe about them. I am kind of worried though about what this is, i was thinking it is a heat rash since i do sweat a lot and in the heat a lot as well. image

      it does itch a bit, not really to sore. it doesnt bother me to much when like im just sitting there only when im walking or movint since my skin is like touching you know? i dont get how i would get herpes if it is it though. ive been with my girlfriend for 5 years next month and i only get cold sores ya know.

    well cold sores is a strand of herpes. could be possible that those ulcers came were transmitted to your genitals orally. definitely get it checked i do hope the best for you

      Today is like the 4-5th day of having it and it honestly feels a lot better, doesnt even really itch anymore. My girlfriend thinks its a heat rash and told me to wash it with tea tree oil and i also put coconut oil on it and like i said almost feels like nothings there. It just looks like dead skin now, doesnt even look anything like my cold sores either i think. what do you think about this?
