I’m not diagnosed with HSV, but I have many of its symptom since having unprotected sex almost one year ago i have a terrible acne problem on my face and neck. Its weird because they show up in the same area every time and they will show up on either side of my face and neck simultaneously. The acne is also more painful than ever before when it is forming or when popped.

I’ve not considered it. I don’t know how to do that

Yes, they are through the site you suggested

The functional doctors near me seem to push cupping or acupuncture. Am I missing something here?

They do come and go, but some symptoms have never gone away since developing. Eating sugar and citrus sets off some of these - possibly. I’m still not sure.

I’ve been tested up to 7 months after first exposure. Swabs and blood are negative. I’ve not had a Western Blot because no doctor thinks I need it

Tested, yes - negative, but I continue to have symptoms aligned with herpes. No medications have helped and not one doctor has been able to explain why my body is breaking out in weird symptoms all at once. Every medicine for this or that has not worked, and I’ve heard “I don’t know what’s happening” from a handful of doctors. This all started after unprotected oral and vaginal sex. Girl I was with said she might have HSV, she tested negative, but days after sex I broke out in scattered, itchy red bumps on my groin. Another girl I dated caught the same thing and other odd symptoms that we both had at the same time. The girl who caused all this said she gets frequent yeast infections, which is a sign that someone could have herpes

I’m not diagnosed with herpes, but have been having very similar symptoms after unprotected sex and oral. I get daily headaches, tinnitus,dry eyes, hand and arm tingling, food sensitivity, and other symptoms that mimick herpes. People tell me I don’t have herpes, but nothing else ticks the boxes like herpes does. Do you also get a lot of acne since contracting herpes? How long after you were infected did your symptoms happen? How long did it take for your first outbreak?

How were you diagnosed?

I’ve not been diagnosed with HSV, but I have the symptoms. i get this cut on my penis. I had it swabbed and it came back negative, but I worry I had it swabbed too late to produce a positive result

I’m not diagnosed with HSV, but have many of the symptoms. My forehead and behind my ear break out constantly with whiteheads

I assure you this is not being created in my head. How can I create my own short term memory loss, constant headaches, confusion and hearing loss?

Where was the pimple located?

I’m trying to believe it, but the symptoms I have match herpes. Itchy, red bumps in groin. Brain fog, confusion, headaches, hard time focusing and recalling information (made worse by eating sugar) Tingling in the nerves of my hands, legs, and feet Lip constantly chapped and cut Small cuts on penis shaft with occasional peeling skin Constant itching in my anus Loss of hearing and a fullness of the ear Blisters on gums Tingling in lips Discoloration of penis glans Constant fatigue Eye pain and constant dry eyes. Itchy skin on butt checks Red, sore skin on corners of lips. Constant zits breaking out on forehead with certain spots of throbbing pain What about any of this does not scream herpes?

I’ve had the same problems and continue to have them and more. Any and all tests come back negative for me.

Can you describe the prodromal symptoms? I’m curious if I’m experiencing what you are. Any photos of what the back of your thought look like? Do you have discomfort where your throat meets your chest?

What does it look/feel like?

I was told over text and I am still angry about it. Had I been told to my face I would have asked so many more questions.

Get a swab of any spots that look suspect. Swabs are more accurate than blood.

Me too! I always have chapped/tiny cuts on my upper lip only. I also developed tiny white bumps on my upper lip that developed after I had the flu. The girl I was dating also developed the bumps, but she doesn't have chapped lips/cuts like I do.

Have you tested positive? If so, how and how long after initial infection did you find out?

Was it diagnosed through blood work, swab or visual inspection by your doctor?

The reason I ask is because I was with someone who might of had HSV. A few months later myself and the girl I was dating came down with the flu and eventually developed tingling on our upper lips. We both had white bumps show up beneath our lips. I still get the tingling and my upper lip is always chapped/cut. i have not tested positive for HSV through blood, but I keep having symptoms similar to those who do have HSV. Did you have those spots before or after you had HSV?

How long did you have these problems before you were tested? Do you know how long you had HSV for?

I had unprotected vaginal and oral with this person, which makes me thing I have HSV in my mouth and genitals. Have you ever had an external open lesion or blister that was swabbed? What is similar and dissimilar about my and your symptoms below the belt?
