Infected heat rash or herpes

Posted , 3 users are following.

I work as a CNA and I got what I believe is a heat rash around my anus that got infected the doctor's agreed and gave me an antibiotic also took a swab now they're saying it's herpes hsv 1. They aren't blisters they kinda look like infected pimples some are flat it and I don't have any other symptoms.

    From what I’ve read , if a swab comes back positive , it’s unlikely false. I’m going through the same thing and I’m hoping that somehow there was a lab error . Did you recieve oral sex around the area ? because that’s supposedly how genital hsv1 is transmitted.

    Girl maybe go to another doctor and get tested get other thoughts and options. That's what I had to do bc my gyno was retarded and didn't know what she was talking about..

      Could possibly be true but yes go get another opinion it doesn't hurt and it could save a lot of hassle with u having false information ya know. I hope that's all it is but just for sake do it 😊
