Hi Katy, this looks like genital herpes. I have mine since 12 years now. My ex husband passed it to me and he did not even knew he had it. My first outbreak was when i was pregnant. I am lucky enough my blister appears in one spot. Try not to touch or scratch them as they will spread. I used to take Valtrex antibiotics for it but since few years my outbreaks are less frequent like twice Year. Especially when im stressed. I usually apply tea trea oil onto the blisters with a help of ear bud. it stings a bit but clears out the blisters faster than antibiotics.

Thank you for the info. It has gotten worse and I saw my doc however she wouldnt do a swab and just said it "looked like herpes" and told me she could not provide antivirals since it had been more than 72 hours since initial breakout.

that is such a ridiculous reason. please consult another physician in regard to your HSV. antiviral prescriptions don't need to be within 72 hours from the start. antivirals will help no matter what time you start taking them.
