  1. ***Forgive me for any ignorance on this topic I might show. I'm a newbie.**** I have just been diagnosed with HSV2 with my only outbreak being on my thigh area (4 weeks ago). I noticed a group of painless, skin-colored bumps beginning to gather on the bottom of my vagina about where my thongs rest. These appeared BEFORE the spot on my thigh appeared. I went to my doctor about it, and while I do have a strain of HPV that is currently causing me some cervix issues, it is not one of the strains that cause genital warts. After examination from my doctor, I was told it didn't "look like HPV warts" and that it was more than likely friction related or razor bumps. I tried to explain to the doctor that they didn't hurt or itch and now they have been there for about two months. I can "pop" them with tweezers, but the only thing that comes out is blood, and I'm scared I'm spreading whatever it is. I went to boyshorts, and electric razor, and the steroid cream they prescribed me for my HSV breakout... none of which is helping it go away. Is this something that herpes veterans have seen or experienced? Is this some sort of related symptom I haven't read about yet? It's really hard to explain to my boyfriend that I don't know what it is, and even though we are holding out on intimacy until I can do some more testing, I would like to know if it's herpes related. Help?
  2. Thank you for your response! I have tested negative for HSV1 and 2 twice. Once two years ago and once a year ago this May. I'm 26 and definitely not a saint, but I was living the safe sex life if you know what I mean. My boyfriend and I are definitely not pointing fingers at this point. We're both educated adults who know the risks of being sexually active. I just wish I wasn't left hanging in the balance with these doctors giving me mixed advice. I am transferring to a new OBGYN in a bigger town 30 minutes away to hopefully get some definite answers and some advice on how to keep my H- (hopefully) partner just that... negative. I did take Valtrex when first diagnosed with HSV1 by visual observation, and it did make the lesion go away. I just wonder if what my dermatologist (who I trust way more than the nurse practitioner) is right and I've been exposed to HSV1 but shouldn't have anymore outbreaks.
  3. After going to the doctor for a small spot on my inner thigh, my world has been turned upside down. I went the ER, and the doctor told me to see my dermatologist. I saw my dermatologist, and he said that it was a misplaced HSV1 sore, and that he didn't think it was HSV2 as it wasn't near my vagina.. I went to my small town NP to get a blood test, and she was convinced it is HSV2 even before the results came back, and even though I didn't have the spot to show. Who do I believe? I've never had a spot on my actual genitalia, just on my leg. Yet my HSV2 only test (I asked for the one to show which I had, but they didn't order that one) came back with high levels of antibodies present. I mean I was post OB, so of course they should be high, right? I don't know what to think. My boyfriend is being incredibly supportive about it, and is working on getting his own blood test done. However, we have only used condoms, so I don't know if a negative result for him means anything for me. Advice? Words of encouragement? I'm really scared and angry.
