Im pretty sure i have a hsv 2 infection. But is it possible to get it on your chest??? i've never had bumps like this on my chest and they get worse every night especially during shower. I don't have these anywhere else on my body. When they're bad they sting a and itch a bit. I've had these a couple days now. First pic is after shower and really irritated and second is the next morning when the spots have calmed down. Could these be herpes bumps???? Please helpimageimage

      Well around 22 days ago i had sex and the guy took the condom off without telling me and after that i've had tingling on my whole body and redness on my skin which kinda matches herpes symptoms but im not sure, 9 days later i went to get a blood test which came back negative but the antibodies for hsv 2 were slightly elevated. I suspect that i got a herpes infection but my body hasn't produced enough antibodies yet for the test to come out as positive. Ive also had petechia/blood spots on my arms and legs and i read that they can be caused by viral infections. I guess im gonna have to get another blood test since my symptoms are kinda unclear..

      elevated like how, what were the numbers??? and has he been tested. The tingling is a sign. but from the pictures, it looks like a rash, im asking because the pics look like this in on your chest.

      I don't know the specific number, but all of them were under 9, the doctor said that the antibodies for hsv 2 were slightly elevated but i didn't ask how elevated.. Idk if he's been tested but he has a lot of one night stands and at first he was gonna have sex with me without a condom so idk if he uses them at all. And i've had individual pimple like bumps on my thighs and chest but im not sure if these are just normal pimples from stress... they did calm down a lot over night and idk if herpes blisters do that. Also despite having tingling all over my body i never developed any lesions/blisters so im not sure whats going on.

      a typical outbreak usually last 1-2 weeks. but because he is high risk its a good thing you got tested. you could try again in another 6-12 weeks for confirmation. from the pictures on your chest that doesnt look like herpes. but everyone doesnt have the classical symptoms. it looks like a rash is forming on your chest. but i would get confirmation or more clarification from your doctor.
