I’m scared this maybe

Posted , 14 users are following.

I went to the doc a couple months ago. for some bumps that came out of no where inside of my butt cheek. They never bled nor did they have any pus. They just were itchy and when I Wore certain underwear it Irritated it. My doc didnt test it but told me it wasnt herpes. Just within the past week they came back. I made the horrible mistake and scratched them. And now its painful. I know with herpes, you can have no symptoms. But i have been on google SCARING myself. Telling myself i have herpes. (i go to the doc this week) But I am Terrified!

      docs appt is Wed. But if it heals before i go. Can the doc still test that area?

    • Edited

      He can't swab it if the sores have healed - only blood tests. A swab is much more accurate. That looks an awful lot like herpes.

      At the begging i had a lot of anxiety crisis and herpes sometimes can be very difficult to diagnose. i would recommend a double check by blood tests after 16 weeks of exposure or swab the open sores.

      by educating myself i realized that its just a pretty common skin condition.

      now just waiting my results (blood test) and i'm okay if its positive.

      also i had a conversation with my partner and he is ok with that. you just need to be more cautious, have protected sex and not have sex when you're on an outbreak, the chances of passing it its pretty low.

      take care of yourself, eat health food, talk with your doctor about antivirals and you'll be ok.

      u need to do a blood test specific for hsv

      i already had type 1 on my mouth, and now was tested for type 2.

      if it's negative i'll have to wait to get it swabbed too, i tried to do it but it always heals before i can go to the doctor.

    hey did you ever get blood test results back ?

    I had almost the exact same sores on my buttcrack, got a swap done and tested negative, but I'm worried that it was because it was almost healed. I'm currently waiting on my blood test results.
