Not sure If it's herpes or not

Posted , 3 users are following.

it started off kind of itchy. nothing crazy. then little white bumps (blisters) formed. there is no pain or discomfort at all. even if i touch them. i thought herpes would be painful so thinking it may be something else. i haven't had sex since corona virus and this is the first breakout

    Can you post some photos to see what these spots look like?

      holy crap. they are basically gone. i read some home remedies for herpes / infection and it said tumeric powder helps.

      i made a paste and applied it. they are like 95% gone over night. wow

      um, it probably was not herpes then, i have never heard of an overnight healing! do you get cold sores? if not you can still get a blood test to detect HSV (the test doesn't distinguish between the two-last time I asked a professional).

      Lets hope it never happens again but if it does, either go to a professional or do a telehealth appt.
