Tested negative at 4 months but still worried
Posted , 3 users are following.
hi so i had these lesions almost 5 months ago. two doctors and some nurses said it looked like nothing but i naturalt freaked out. they didnt hurt or itch and i didnt have any other symptoms besides just these lesions. there were hairs on top that i plucked and then the lesions went right down and healed in about 3-5 days. i got the IGG blood test and they were negative. ive had HSV 1 since i was in 5th grade so i took vatrex because i kept getting cold sores from stressing over the lesions.
would taking valtrex a few times skew my results at 4 months? i also had laser hair removal 5 days before the popped up so maybe it was just an irritated follicle. i posted pics of them too!

I would say ingrown hairs based on you pulling the hairs out maybe some irritation because of it..also because you've had no other symptoms and you tested negative at four months I wouldnt worry too much about it if they keep reoccurring have them swab it. but they dont look like herpes sores to me. but I am just an internet stranger, I do know it helps to hear though. it doesnt look like herpes to me.
