panicking...is this herpes or razor burn?

Posted , 6 users are following.

Had protected sex twice in the past two weeks. Shaved with a bad razor thursday night, red bumps showed up monday. Have been worrying myself sick. Got the bumps tested on monday, but waiting for my results. Bumps never blistered, but did itch/were uncomfortable. No other symptoms.

    they kinda look like ulcers but I'm not sure since they look like they are healing now from the scabbing I can see. whenever you get your results I hope you dont mind sharing I hope the best for you try not to worry so much I know its hard but it was good getting them tested when you did, did you do a igg blood test as well?
