Hi guys,

I've been diagnosed with HS recently and have been receiving treatment for it. Over the past 3 months my vagina always gets itchy around the time of my period. I have long fake nails and i'm always scratching down there. Thought it was due to pubic hair so i shaved and found this? is this herpes? people say outbreaks only last 2-3 weeks but the scratching has been going on for 4-6 weeks, is this a back to back breakout or not herpes? image

    I have still to be confirmed but Im 99.9 sure herpes and after infection my groin area was irritated for 6 months I think. couldnt wear lace panties or tight pants...

    never had typical blisters but super small cuts and folliculitis. quiting medication helped I think because my body could create antibodies itself.

    now its finally calm for 5 months, only little irritation looking like folliculitis, triggers: when my resistance is a bit low + after shaving + around my period.
