What is this mark?

My ex has herpes and she was always careful. After being with her for a long time and having a family I didn't care if I got infected.

I went to the sexual health clinic Tuesday and had swabs taken. I had a little mark on my pubic area and they wasn't sure what it was and little cuts on the top of my foreskin.

I'm waiting for the results now.

I was given a cream to help the irritation on my pubic area and I've used that, now there is a new mark on me and its really irritating and itchy.

Could someone tell me what it could be.

    I'm not an expert on hsv because I am new to it. However I don't think that herpes comes as just one or two spots. From what I read heroes normally looks like a rash. Bumbs all over and itches like crazy and is sore. Maybe its just a bug bite? I wouldnt get too worried about it. Just be causious until you get ur results back. It normally takes like 3 business days.

      Herpes can come in all forms, including single bumps. Not at all necessary to appear as a big rash. In fact, it's more likely to appear as a single bump or two than a big rash!

    Test actually take about a week. And that actually look like your first ob. And since its not itching like crazy and obviously herpes, other outbreaks will be less painful. I suggest aloe vera gel, tea tree oil, or olive leaf extract

    Could be an outbreak. Are those bumps like little blisters? If so and they turn into open sores, then very likely herpes, especially with the tears and itching. Were you never tested for herpes IgG antibodies after your ex?
