    Go see your doctor to get the sores swabbed for a culture. What happen about using a condom? When I was your age I caught gonorrhea and it was easily treated, but this herpes can be a nightmare. This is your wake up call and some of us have to learn the hard way.

    By the sounds of things you have herpes, definitely go to the doctor and get a swab test done. 

    Dont panic too much, herpes has a different affect on everyone when it comes to severity, number of outbreaks per year etc 

    I suggest getting lots of rest, do not touch the sores as much as they are itchy! if you do always wash your hands immediately after, before touching any other part of your body. 

    I personally dont like putting chemicals on my body so instead of a cream which doesnt exactly treat the outbreak but stops the irritation,  I find 100% pure lavender essential oil dialuted with a bit of water effectively helps stop the irritation and icthiness, but ask a practitioner before doing so. Ive also read that salt baths twice a day help.

    But always follow doctors instructions. I know it can be dauntind and awkward, I was diagnosed with herpes when I was 18 and cried for a couple days when I found out.

     I took the tablets they told me to but they didnt really help, the outbreak only settled once I had stopped stressing. So my point is that if something works/doesnt work for you, tell the doctor and they can help suggest something else.

    If youre scared out of your mind (you might not be and good on you if not) dont worry, there are so many professionals and support groups that can help you get through it. 

    Good luck with it all smile

    Ok he used a condom, but if a part of body thats not covered by the condom is virally shedding and touches your skin , could be enough for you to contract herpes. His pubic area could of had it. Did you all have oral sex? Now are you beginning to understand the possibilities? Where was the big pimple?
