Is This Herpes On My Lower/Mid Back?
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi,
So I had an encounter about 3 months ago. Start of June. 5 days after I slept with this person (Protected intercourse and she gave me oral). I started getting some itching tingling all over my body. I then slept with her again this time protected intercourse but we both gave each other unprotected oral. I also fingered her. Anyways over the weeks the itching all over my body got worse and worse but no rash. Just itching and tingling. Fast forward to today, the itching has dropped dramatically. The GUM clinc and Drs refuse to do a blood test as I have no visual blisters/herpes sores. I still have the itching but as I said its a lot less.
I am quite prone to acne and pimples on me back for most of my life but these have also reduced as Ive gotten older. However, my skin just seems to be terrible now. Had some big pimples on my neck which have no gone but I seem to be getting a lot on my lower back and mid back. I can feel hat they are deep under the skin. They are just like big red bumps. I cant squeeze them either as they dont have anything in them. They dont really hurt unless I adgitate them. Maybe its the timng of all of this that is freaking me out. Also, there are soo many its making me feel gross. I actually paid for my own IgG today and have sent off my sample so should find out later this week if I have HSV1 and 2. Even though as a child Ive had cold sores and chicken pox.
What does this look like to you? Does it just look like bad acne, pimples? Ive scarred some of them already by picking them etc and trying to force out whatevers in them but nothing shows. Just scabs left. I have a massive one in the middle of my back. They do not crust over. They just heal like slow pimples and have no wet pits inside them. They also seem to be moving more round the sides of my body and chest. Smaller red dots. Look like heat spots.
