Hi, 

I just started getting itchy and noticed 2 spots that look like sores and I'm suspecting herpes? Not sure if it's HSV 1 or 2? Could someone help? What do I do? Picture below thank you !!

    All I can tell you is go to doctor. I have not had sores or pimples.But I did test positive.

    Hi, the best thing to do is go asap to the doctors to get it swab tested as the sooner you go the better and more accurate the swab test will be, the longer you leave it, it will start to heal and scab, it is then a lot harder to use the sore for accurate testing. 

    It does look a little like a herpes sore but you need a professional diagnosis, best way to do this is a swab test!

    Awww! Same hete got to itcy and got a lot of genital sore! Don't scratch it! You must see your doctor cos that looks like mine. It'll turn into an ulcer which is so painful! Did you feel sick? Body pain and fatigue?
