Hey guys ive recently noticed i have this sort-of itchy rash like thing located around my pubic area and i am very worried about it! after all the research i have done it's all lead me back to someother skin condition or herpes. Its happened once before about a month or 2 ago, Its the second time its ever appeared like this so the first time i thought nothing of it. Im scared it could be herpes but im really not to sure. How do i tell my boyfriend if it is herpes? Ive never EVER cheated on him nor has he on me but i know it can lay dormant for years before anyone gets symtoms, i never got this before i met my boyfriend so maybe he could of spread it througgh oral sex as it looked like he had a cold sore on his lip one time but again.. i thought nothing of it & i just thought it might have been a pimple he had popped the night before seeing me & he has never mentioned having herpes to me ever before * & im pretty sure I've been very careful in the past & never have let anyone perform any oral on me while having cold sores. Could someone please pleasssse help me?

By the look it may be herpes. But there is no reason to get yourself worried about. Best advice is to go to the clinic and get it checked while still on your skin. This is the only way to get a right diagnostic. Before you start to ask yourself how you are going to explain to your boyfriend what it is or keep wondering how you got it the best thing is to go straight away to the gum clinic while the rash is still there and they can examine it properly. After getting a diagnosis the doctor or nurse can advice you how open the subject to your boyfriend. Anyway don’t panic and stop stressing yourself as it may not be anything serious, but still needs to be checked, just in case, is always better to know what it is and how can be treated. All the best :)

These appear to be herpes simplex vesicles, hopefully by now you have attended a sexual health service and have had advice and treatment
