Is This HSV2???

[ra1956]

OK - freaking out a bit. Been working to get a western blot scheduled for next week - difficult to get here (other testing wasn't very definitive). But anyway - yesterday got what looked like a Red pimple near the base of my manhood. Even popped like a pimple - had normal white pus. Doesn't really hurt much more than I would expect a normal pimple would. Was no tingling or anything before it popped up. Now today I have another one very close to the one from yesterday. Any chance this could be a primary outbreak after four months? These don't look anything like the images from Google. -

 

Thanks - Ra

Are you able to go to a clinic and get a culture? Not all herpes looks like the pictures on google. Trust me.

Omg...those google images...fuel the stigma or what! Take them down google!

 

Hope the tests clear up your queries Ra...let us know how you get on

Rather than popping them, get it cultured.... that would answer your question..

 

However, it's likely just a pimple. HSV doesnt usually have pus in it unless it's infected and even then it's more likely to have at least some discomfort once it's opened... ;)
