This herpes or Folliculitis? Or something different?

Posted , 3 users are following.

i had this for about 3 weeks and cleared up then a week and half later it came back. both times after having sex with my partner. the sores started to hurt this morning but I've had them for a week now. I've been to the ER and a walk-in both told me its not herpes but never did blood work or swab of sores. my gf had sores, she got them swabbed and blood work, all came back negative except for BV. the sores seem to get a little bigger this morning, I've been using an anti fungal and steroid cream every 12 hours. doesn't hurt with soap or water, nut if i put a lot of pressure on a sore or stretch it. no headache, fever , swollen glands, discharge, or sore throat. imageimageimageimage

can herpes come back after a week of a "first out break"?

      thank you!! they took urine at the ER then called me back. that was about a minth and half ago. saying i was clear. they pit me on a herpes med then told me i dont need it. I dont think herpes would come back in a week, week and half . anything is possible!

    Kinda looks like Molloscum. Have you seen your GP or just the ER folks?

      Go see your doctor. Molloscum is passed by contact so it could explain why your lady also had bumps. Herpes tends to be clusters of blisters so Id have to agree with the doctors you've seen. Molloscum is completely treatable if thats what it is.

      best of luck, Friend!
