Is this herpes?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have had really bad std anxiety for the past three months after having a one night stand with a shady guy . I've got tested 4 times for every std in the past 2 months and came up clean. I was on a lot of antibiotics at the time so i was having constant yeast infections , i started having feelings of bugs crawling on my genitals but i went to 8 different doctors and they all told there was no lesions so the crawling sensations was due to the yeast irritating mywas due to the yeast , and some of them diagnosed me with genitally -focused anxiety and my gyno diagnosed me with vulvodynia. 3 days ago, i finally noticed something that looks like a lesion but its on my thigh and is not itchy or painful. it's also extremely small i probably would not have noticed it if i constantly didnt have a mirror down there. it's been the same size since three days ago. The sti clinic in my city is not open till tuesday so i have to wait to get it swabbed but whats
the verdict? one photo is extremely zoomed in and the other photo is the actual size

I can't think see anything in the second pic darl. From your post you seem very stressed. I doubt you have herpes.. I know this means little coming from a non professional with only internet research on the matter and possible herpes (waiting on results) but I'd like to say we are all human and we all make mistakes (shady guy) you just need to move on now and chill, learn from this and listen to what your doctors have told you. And if you do have herpes (doubtful) in the scheme of things, so what? It can't kill you. Ofc it has its stigma and it's a health issue but people deal with it every day. People also deal with life threatening issues that could be fatal (eg, cancer) everyday and herpes doesn't even come close to that on a big picture. Not to dismiss your worries (normal, a bit excessive?) but yeah just take a step back and focus on other things.

I seriously doubt this is herpes. You presumably tested for it and are negative, plus a first outbreak mostly occurs within the first week, maybe two, and usually at the site of infection (so, not your thigh). I can't even see the bump in the second photo, so it must be miniscule. Take comfort in your results and try to worry a lot less, especially when there is no real cause. Stress and anxiety are bad for your physical health, not just psychological.
