Worried about herpes

Posted , 2 users are following.

i am very worried about herpes.. i have no symptoms besides itching in my groin, scrotum, legs, and tip of penis. i went to doctor and she said i had nothing to worry about but i still feel like i do. i had potential exposure about 12 days ago (she said she tested negative for everything, but idk if i believe her) doc did run swab test on my meatus but she tends to think my anxiety is causing this. is it normal to have these symptoms for 11 days but no sores appear?

      u usually get a bit more than just that if a doctor has said theres nothing wrong the chances are theres nothing wrong if u have had a swab done await the results

      theres lots of things can cause that from shaving to skin conditions thats why its better to wait for the results noone can tell u if u 100% have herpes only havin a test is the way to know
