Is this Herpes? Causing Anxiety!

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have read on many occasions that a first outbreak of herpes only last a couple of weeks to a month max so this makes it really difficult.

i have had these painless bumps that are hard to pop and bleed when popped, for several months. It started off as only a couple of spots and continues to spread. It is only at the point where my bum cheeks meet and rub so i have questioned whether or not it was a heat rash or folliculitis, but there is no pain and they just wont seem to go away. There is also one singular dot on the outside of my vagina flaps. Recently a new rash has appeared and is starting to spread down my thighs.File size is too big

I have been having salt baths to try and minimise the appearance which does seem to work but they wont go away and i have far too much anxiety to go to the doctors about it.

i have attached pictures.

PLEASE HELP! I am very sexually active but at this point it is stopping me having sex all together!File size is too big

      I have had HSV for 15 years on my right butt cheek and left leg. I'm about 99% sure from that picture it's not HSV. That looks like pimples to me from sweating when I first was diagnosed I was worried about every bump appeared on my body I went to see doctor about it. She explained to me that during the day when you use the bathroom that area has bacteria can't really clean it completely unless you wash with soap and water. You sweat and that spreads it around those pimples breakout. HSV has a burning to it it runs deeper in the tissue as it travels down the nerves you know it the pain is not anything like a pimple. I have had painful pimples but it's very localized to the bump where HSV is an area of pain runs down to it. I would not worry about it .
