The doctors have been telling me they are both herpes and i'm convinced they are not, my brother gets mouth ulcers and my mum use to at a younger age. I have visited the GUM clinic and the results came back negative. I have also, over the last four years got acne which is getting worst. Can any one help me and point me in the right direction?

Hi xbecx1

You will find a lot of us here that have been diagnosed with herpes before having been diagnosed with behcets.

Are you saying that the tests for herpes came back negative ?

You will also find poeple who have relations who also have symptoms, although at this moment in time behcets is not being classed as hereditory

I am guessing that you probably live in the United Kingdom and if so you could contact the Behects Society help/information at info@behcetsdisease.org.uk and they can send you a list of consultants or details of the centre of excellance.

If you don't live in the UK then you can ask a question on this forum for consultants who are experienced with behcets in your country.

In the meantime, it might be helpful to write down a history of symptoms and test results etc and also keep a diary so that it will help you if you see a new consultant and even might help with the GUM Clinic.

Hope this helps you with getting a diagnosis.
