I have really big painless sores this has been going on for awhile now..ive been to the doctor 3 times first she said its just a friction blister/rub then i found somemore bumps or what i thought were because i was paranoid with itching and a little pain. She said everything looked fine but i had a yeaat infection from cream she gave me so i took the medicine and it went away. But then i noticed a blister up higher in the hair and left it but the next day it had spread from a pea sized blister to the size of a quarter(it was popped) and just a huge raw area..still no pain or itcing and i went back again. She said it didnt look like herpes at all but swabbed anyways to be sure and i still havent gotten my results back its been almost 2 weeks she said the results could take up to 3. So in that time i got another one right by my butt and it also grew humungous still no pain except for the obvious friction pain cause its rubs when i walk and then after that one for awhile another shows up exactly opposite to the first and also gets huge.. im just at such a loss and need some opinions thank you http://imgur.com/IfjsXU5 (sorry about the string haha) http://imgur.com/fZ44G3b

    Ouch, I don't know what that is either! I agree that it doesn't look like typical herpes, as you would expect to see some ulceration at that stage, like with an oral canker sore, but your lesions look extremely shallow and barely skin deep. Good thing you had it swabbed. Hopefully you'll get your results soon. Let us know what it is, as that's rather unusual to see!

      The test came back negative! My doctor thinks it is something called impetigo a highly contagious skin condition that im on medicine for now. There is still a part of me that is extremly paranoid that the test was wrong though.

      If it doesn't seem like herpes and tested negative for herpes, I would take that as good reassurance that it's not herpes, so you should try to relax and put it behind you. Hope the impetigo clears up soon!
