    It doesn't present itself the way herpes does. Of course your doctor knows what he is talking about more than anyone on here. It should be a relief that it isn't herpes as you got a negative test. It does appear that it could be an abscess. I would continue the antibiotics and if it doesn't go away then go back to the doctor. Maybe its something that will need to be cut and drained.
