Outbreak #2?

I am going to lose my mind sad 

I had a severe initial outbreak 3 weeks and 5 days ago.  My doctor quoted it as being one of the most severe cases she has seen. I took all my meds and it took forever to heal.  I just started wearing underwear again 3 days ago.  

I haven’t felt anything other than an annoyance from healing and suddenly I’m in the shower tonight and washing everything and I feel... something down there.  It feels like a massive lump.  I also shaved 24 hours prior because I was going to the beach.  I must have really aggravated it when I touched it cause suddenly it started hurting.  Bad.

I jumped out of the shower and pulled myself up to the mirror and sure enough it’s a smooth lump with a red dot in the middle.  It hurts quite badly.  My first initial outbreak 3 weeks ago I don’t recall having a red dot in the middle of them.  But my doctor also thinks I caught it after the blisters broke.

Is this possibly a second outbreak this quickly?  I don’t feel any flu symptoms like I did last time...

    I just went through exactly the same. The only difference of the second time is less painful but so itchy.  I am on the 4th day antiviral of my second outbreak, I started feeling better yesterday but today I got my period and it is bad again. So bad...
