    Those appear to HSV lesions. set up an appt with your primary care doctor for confirmation.

    It does look like HSV, even if you don't have any other symptoms like itchiness or a discharge, I'd still make an appointment ASAP with your doctor before the sores heal. The most accurate HSV testing is swab testing from a sore or lesion, blood testing isn't 100 percent accurate with HSV. I was recently tested positive for HSV1 on my genitals after I had pain in my urinary tract but with no visible sores (the sores were actually further in my vaginal canal so I couldn't see them). I did a blood test for HSV1 and 2 after dating my current partner for a month and it came back negative, so it was most likely that my body had not yet developed an immunity to the virus to be detected in my blood.
