Nose cold sore
Posted , 3 users are following.
A couple days ago I felt a hard lump like a pimple inside my nose then today i woke up and it's all scabbed over. My family told me it's a cold sore but I've never had one before from what I know. I've been nervous for 5 months thinking i might have herpes because after my possible exposure I was sick for 4 weeks with what they thought was tonsilitis even though all my swabs were negative and my lymph nodes were the biggest they ever have been. That has also been accompanied by occasional itches throughout the day in the vaginal area which now im using hydrocortisone cream and antifungal cream for but doesn't seem to be doing much. I also had a cut after sex about a week ago and i got it tested but it was negative for everything HSV-1 & 2 but I know they arent always accurate. Can genital herpes pop up in other body parts such as nose?

Wait until 6 months then do a full panel std testing.
