Hsv-2??

wondering if this looks like herpes? It only shows when I spread the skin. I do have psoriasis so thats what I have chalked it up to be but I went in for STD testing and asked for everything. got part of my results back and the Dr said you might have been exposed but don't have results back yet for which one, if any.

I am itchy, again I have dry skin all over my body, and a little red. I've had two kids and my bladder has never been the same so if I sneeze or whatnot I definitely tinkle.. just freaking out a little. don't know where I could have caught this or when if it is herpes.

    doesnt look like herpes - skin condition or reaction to an allergen would be my guess

    Those are forcyde spots nothing to worry about. It seems like you might have a pile if you haven't gotten that looked at I suggest you do.

      ok ok! 🤣 those I do know about, Ive had them since having my children. they don't bother me so my OB isn't worried about them.

      Okay then you have nothing to worry about with the spots or your hemmeroids 😁

      the hsv test came back positive but inconclusive. which I did ask the nurse if this is considered a false positive. she did say it could be a possibility but would call me back after speaking with the doctor and what he would like to do.

      I don't recall ever coming in contact with anyone..which I understand can happen. never had an outbreak either.

      I don't understand that at all nothing in the pictures looks like herpes.

      yeah I freaked out at first but now I'm pretty sure its a false positive and that's probably why they don't test for HSV anymore on a normal basis without a breakout or being asked to do so.
