is it an outbreak?

Posted , 3 users are following.

i have had this on right on top of my clitoris area for the past few days. at first it was red and it was tender to touch. and now i sit down and i can feel it but it doesn't hurt to pee.

I'm wondering if its an outbreak. i was told i have HSV2 in 2016 but i have never had an outbreak before. and my OBGYN doesnt have any appointments available at the moment.

    it does look suspicious. you can go to a clinic or er and ask for a swab. how where you diagnosed at the time? I'm guessing a blood test if you didn't have symptoms. what lead you to test in the first place? Did you have an exposure 16 weeks prior?

      yes it was a blood test.

      16 weeks prior to this outbreak?

      or to when i was tested?

    yea thats genital herpes. an open sore to be exact and yoyre having an outbreak. if youve had it for 3 years, its likely you were having an outbreak and mistook it for something else. but if you were diagnosed, what's your question?
