    Hi, Im also confused on if i have HSV or not, and while scrolling through the forum I came across your post. What you have kind of looks like what my skin looks like during an HS (not to be confused with HSV) flare. A lot of black women have HS probably due to the thickness and curl of our hair. HS causes large boils that look just like what you have. Id suggest going to your doctor and asking if you possibly have HS. Oh and by the way, HS, unlike HSV, isnt an std, its a skin condition similar to acne. So fingers crossed thats what you have
