this is a typical herpes out break , you poor thing you must be so sore . get on antivirals asap and try epsom salt baths to ease the pain x

yes, im sorry but i have to agree that it does look like herpes. i was recently diagnosed so if you need someone to talk to you can message me. it is possible that maybe your gf performed oral on you and you got it that way if shes prone to cold sores.

don't say that. your life is not over no matter if it is or isn't. millions and millions of people have it and their lives aren't affected by it.

doesnt mean that she for sure has it, but if she gets cold sores she could have transmitted hsv1 to your genitals. even when a cold sore is not present, the virus can still be transmitted due to shedding of the skin

i too have had days where i feel like my life is over, but shes right. many people have herpes and have a normal life. your first outbreak tends to be the worst one. for me, i experienced terrible pain when peeing. other than that an abnormal discharge everything seemed fine. i went to urgent care first, they said i was fine and did a pcr blood test. once the pain upon urinating started i knew something was terribly wrong so i went to my gyno. he took one look at the pics i took & said he suspected herpes. after an igg blood test came back positive, i was diagnosed. if you need someone to talk to please reach out to me

ive been crying myself to sleep every night since they showed up i really appreciate you for the offer i really do ! i just have no idea how i could have gotten it i trusted my girlfriend with my life but the last time i was with anyone else was like 2 years ago so i don't believe it could have came from them . she told me she hasn't been with anyone but me since we've been together but shes been with other people before . she said she doesnt have any symptoms . i went to urgent care today and they sent out tests and said i have to wait for the results ive never had so much anxiety in my life . i just dont want to disappoint my mom if this is herpes because she trusted me with my girlfriend . once it started to burn when i pee yea thats when i know something was really wrong but im still hoping for the best and i will for sure let you guys know the results

herpes can show at any point so you could have got it from anyone, remeber this is a virus so it stays in the body. thereofre it might not have come crom your gf

aw love dont be so hard on yourself. herpes doesnt change you. you are still the same person. hannah is right, you could have had it before and never shown symptoms since a lot of people are asymptomatic or your girlfriend has performed oral on you & has a history of cold sores. have you asked her if shes ever had a cold sore? & please dont suspect that your girlfriend has cheated or something, herpes is a tricky virus and can more often than not be in the body without showing symptoms. please reach out if you need support & please update with your results. its going to be okay ❤

typically herpes remains in the genital or oral region but i have seen cases where it transmits to other areas like you mentioned above. you could have had it prior or recently got it with your girlfriend. if you did have it before it is possible that you could have gave it to your girlfriend. i have read that sometimes the medication can take a few days before being effective. i hope you find some relief soon

i got herpes gladatorium on my belly button cause a guy licked on my belly piercing when he sexually assaulted me, it looked alot like that but more red and purple due to infection. You should probably get swabbed to be safe

so the sores are starting to go away finally i can walk now 😃 the little cluster of bumbs on my belly are still there but they are also going away slowly but surly but the one bump on my finger still doesnt look like its going away maybe its a bug bite. ive been hoping and praying still that this isnt herpes but ive kinda grown to accept it if it does turn out to be as the days go by im still kinda scared to pee on the toilet because if how bad it hurt the last time . i know this is kinda gross but for anyone going through it when you pee i find it super helpful if you pee in the bath lol it doesnt hurt at all i take a bath whenever i need to pee now

you can also use a disposable cup filled with water. evertime you have to pee, sit on the toilet and slowly pour a cup of water over your vagina while you're peeing
