I may have been exposed to herpes 14-15 weeks ago. I received an IgG +IgM test at 9 weeks and they came back negative. I have these itchy sores on my pubic area that have been here for 4-5 weeks. I’m not really sure what they are or if I should get retested for herpes .. one picture I’m going to try and upload is from May 30 and the second photo will be from yesterday.

    These are from today and yesterday. I'm not sure what this is because the sores only itch and have been persistent for weeks. They do not scab or anything.

    To me that doesn’t look like it.  It looks like pimples or hair follicle inflammation.  4-5 weeks is a lot for it to look like that.  Have you had flu symptoms?  Are they painful?  Like so painful you can’t even walk?  I’d go back in for another opinion but to me- that doesn’t look like it.  They would be blisters that would burst within a couple days and become open sores.
