Weird physical symptom - PLEASE help!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone- if you have ever seen anything like this please let me know. I wanted to post here but I’m thinking I might also go back to my doctor and have her check me out.

A little over a week ago I was diagnosed with genital HSV-1, newly contracted. I’m almost at the end of my 10 day meds then I’ll be doing suppressive therapy and my first outbreak is essentially completely gone, and I feel totally normal again. Except for this. The sores I had looked exactly like that- sores. They have all gone and healed and left is the same old vagina I love and recognize lol. However ONE spot has not gone away or even changed at all (hasn’t scabbed, etc). The weird part is that it doesn’t really look like all the other sores I had. It almost looks more like a cut except I haven’t cut myself (haven’t even shaved). It’s right underneath my vagina opening; basically in the little area between your vagina and asshole. It’s less than a centimeter wide, oval shaped, and red. It looks like open skin and basically the way I can describe it is if you had a cut like this on any other part of your body you’d put Neosporin on it and it would heal right up. My actual sores were all perfectly round circles and looked like sores. Idk what this is, why it hasn’t gone away yet, and what to do about it. I want to have sex with my partner again but I’m afraid until this goes away! I feel zero pain while existing and not really when I touch it either, maybe a tiny sting here and there if I touch it with my finger or wipe after peeing but as open skin that’s kind of expected. Any ideas?

Well I can't speak for your experience, but that's actually how mine presented! I started feeling like I had "paper cuts" and they looked just like that: paper cuts. I attributed it to rough sex. I had NO CLUE that it was HSV!! I was shocked. Anyway, way past that. Lol. I do have what you're talking about though! Not so abnormal to me!

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
