HSV?

Posted , 3 users are following.

does this look like the beginning of a herpes breakout? a week ago, i had sex with a new partner. I've been with this partner four times since then. I've literally shaved every day for a week straight and had some pretty rough sex about 6 hours before this picture was taken. I haven't had any signs of illness and it only itches where my razor bumps are. He also didn't have any bumps or sores on him. I Have an appointment with OBGYN Friday. need opinions please.

      I've only had 1 outbreak. But I was told to take the meds every day until I know how an outbreak feels coming on
