image Hi, I am beating my head. Last month I had a fissure and bump that got swabbed and came back negative for HSV. I got treated for yeast and BV. All other STD panel came back negative. This bump appeared yesterday. It is itchy and uncomfortable. I've gone twice to doc and they have literally talked me out of having herpes because somehow I was convinced that I did based on the clinical symptoms I was having. DOC even pulled her literature book to prove it wasnt. I really need answers please! I have to know!! PLEASE HELP! Going again this week for a third time!

      No, I get cold sores in the mouth so I will teat positive for the antibodies. I did go to the doc yesterday and was told that it was not herpes. She swabbed it at my request. Should I get a blood test? I thought the gold standard was through a swab?

      if nothing is showing up in swabs then you should probably ask for a blood test . it has to be something thats causing it . It might even be an allergic reaction to something but if you want to rule out everything do every test so that you can be at ease
