I might have Herpes. Need some advice
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi Everyone, To paint a quick picture. I am a guy and I have been sexually active with ladies that I know. All of them insist they are clean which I believe. A week ago I spent five days with my current gf and now I am blisters on my trunk just above the genitals... (sorry for being explicit). She did have a sore on her mouth which I didn't know what it was and she did give me oral. Upon inquiry she said she gets them sometimes. Back to my predicament... There is no aching... just slight itching... but the blisters do seem like Herpes blisters from the one I have seen online. No painful urination. Although I do feel that my lymphnode in the left armpit is slightly hurting. Some quick background also; a week ago I got my finger infected because I cut the nail too deep. On antibiotics for that. Now these blisters have come up. Wondering if I have herpes. Wondering if I have herpes and caught it from the ladies before my current gf and whether the stress of the finger infection just brought out my first episode. If indeed this is herpes, this will be my first episode. From what I have been reading on this forum, the first episode is very painful. It is the second day for me that I have noticed the blisters so not sure if this is too early for it to be painful and the fun is yet to come or maybe it is not herpes but something else.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

New twist in the story. I noticed I am runnig a 99 degree fever. I got a Tdap (tetnus, dipthera) booster shot in the arm today. Not sure if it is related to that and not my blisters. My arm is sore from the shot.

I am novice so pardon the clarification seeking. Do you mean to say that the blood test will not reveal whether I currently have Herpes? How is a PCR test done? Are the blisters required to be swabbed for them? Can I ask a doctor for it?

It seems like I have herpes and the lesisons crusted and dried up. Doctor had put me on 10 days of Valtrex just to be safe so to speak. Now it is the 16 days after the first day of OB and there are still red bumps which don't ache but are itchy. I wonder if these bumps will go away and how long does it take.
I seem to have another new pimple (seems like one although it might be the sign of a new OB) which is itchy. Am I getting another OB 4 days after healing from the previous one? I finished my Valtrex 2 days ago.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks

My first OB started about the 29th of Dec. Went to doctor on the 31st of Dec. He gave me Valtrex for 5 days, twice a day. The blisters were mostly painless although slight discomfort. They crusted in about 5 days. Now I have a cluster of small red bumps.

If what you have is herpes, you should not get a back-to-back outbreak. The bumps should heal and go away soon, possibly in another week at most. You can apply diluted tea tree oil to minimise the itching.
