Herpes? Syphilis? Horrible Ulcers? HELP!

Posted , 2 users are following.

I literally cannot stop thinking that i have herpes and i am getting insanely depressed and anxious over it. i tested yesterday but the results wont be here until monday. these sores are only painful if i touch them. theyre quite large but started out like tiny red pinholes. Ive only noticed them two days ago. i had unprotected sex with someone exactly two weeks ago. The ulcers look more like syphilis but the literature suggests herpes. theyre hidden sores unless i open everything up. Please look at the photos and tell me what you think. image

    Hey girl, I experienced one single ulcer that looked similar to what u have. Please keep updated here or personal message me w your results and I will do the same thing when I get mine if its before you do. When was the last time you had unprotected sex? new partner? long term partner? Does he/she get cold sores on their mouth? I think that could be HSV-1 or 2. Hsv-1 if you received oral sex from somebody who has a past of cold sores even if it wasnt present..

    Did you get a blood test or swab or both? I got a blood test and with a long term partner, so it will likely be accurate because it cant be new exposure. Again, please please update on Monday! All the best to you girly, itll be okay:)

      From the photos, It really does look like syphilis, but I have more than one and they're somewhat painful only when I touch them. I never got the blisters and mine aren't small, they're rather large. I'm just really really praying that it's not herpes. Idek what I'll do with myself if that's the case. And yes, of course, I'll let you know either way.

      Ok love. Im hoping for you too girl! How is it looking now? Is there still the white coating on it? Also, just eltting you know its best to ask specifically for a herpes swab test and blood tests arent accurate so early usually? But Im sure your doc will inform you of all of this and properly diagnos u. fingers crossed!
