    Unfortunately luv these really do look like Herpes. Herpes ulcerate and these are ulcers. ulcers with the red ring round d the outer are the tell tale sign of Herpes. If you had blisters that didn't ulcerate that would be more promising. I know that's not what you want to hear but I'm pressuming you came here for honesty. There is a great post on here about how to cope with outbreaks. You really should have them swabbed to be sure. Best of luck x

    Hi, mine looked exactly like this & even more sores popped up, it's extemely painful. I got tested for herpes but my results aren't back yet. The doctor also gave me medicine for herpes yesterday and I think it's helping. I'm so sad because I'm only 17

      it's just a skin condition. you'll be fine. it is fairly common and so easy to catch that it's impossible to avoid. don't beat yourself up. of course no one wants it as such, but you could catch it anytime you have sex. the risk is always there. don't think of it as an sti. it's just a skin condition, and it can occur anywhere on the body. keep your chin up. it's important to remember that if your exposure has been within the last 3 months your blood test may come back negative so always advisable to test again in 3 months from first outbreak
