    i know this can be scary. please ask your partner if he has has herpes or cold sores in the past and get a swab test done asap. its not the end of the world. youtube has some amazing videos.

      did it have an odor and did it itch and how quickly did it come up ?

    It does resemble herpes so definitely go get a swab test. It could be something else like a yeast or bacterial infection but herpes is best tested for when you have open sores so you will get a more accurate diagnosis if you go as soon as you can.

    Have you asked him about it?

      I've never noticed a change in odour with my herpes outbreaks but everyone is different. Is there a drop in clinic you can get to for a swab?

      Yes . do not scratch because it will cause the sores to open and bleed. Take a warm bath and use epsom salt. And kinda push out and in if you know what I mean. But go to the doctor asap because that's the only way you will know for sure. Because I have blood and the doctor told me everything looked alright , but after the external swab she done , 3 days later I was diagnosed . they have to swab the sores

    It does look like herpes but it can also be a very bad infection. Either way it needs some medical attention.
