What would happen if you scrubbed or rubbed herpes blisters away or off too early before they ruptured on their own? Would you be able to tell? I'm wondering if I had them and maybe rubbed them away. I switched real bad in the shower once and when I got out it was raw but nothing was there except a little redness. It scabbed the next day where I rubbed and that came off in the shower the next day. Just wondering if they can be scraped or rubbed off .

    I don't think you have herpes man ...

    I think you are just a little worried and over reacting .

    You just didn't have any symptoms or anything of it .

    And you can't wash / rub them over that easily ...

    I guess it differs for different people .

    You gotta stop and ask yourself certain things like when was the last time you had sex and with who

    Did that certain person have anything weird on their genitals or anything such ??

    Me personally I think you are getting a little bit too in over your head.

    When blisters do ruptured that turn into little sores like ...

    But I seriously doubt you have it

    You should get a doctors appointment ASAP and get a swab test done. (If there isn't any sign of anything down there then you should get a blood test)

    Are you in Any pain.? Swollen groin or anything ?

      No, no pain. It was just a little sore from when I rubbed it raw that one time in the shower. That scabbed over the next day and washed off in the shower. I appreciate you taking the time out to respond to me Koolredd. Thanks man.
