Is this herpes or anything else?
Go to doctor
It sounds like genital herpes. Your husband may experience the first herpes outbreak, it's typically more severe than other herpes recurrences. Both should see doctor to check for sure and receive treatment. I can't sure who gave him this virus, only tests from your doctor may help. You can also have a conversation to ask him about it
Thank you so much. I asked him already and he insisted that he never cheated me. We're going see doctor on Friday. Hope everything will be fine because if this is herpes, it's very terrible.
Don't panic. Though herpes is highly contagious and can't be completely cured, certain treatments are effective in easing the symptoms and preventing it from coming back. If your husband is diagnosed with herpes, doctors will prescribe antiviral medications, such as Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, and Prosurx to cure it. Now, things you need are to go to doctor soon and abstain from sex.
Also remember genital herpes can lay dormant for many years before an outbreak, don’t automatically think your husband may have cheated.
Thanks for your reply, we got tested yesterday and have been wating for results. But my doctor insists that my husband is more likely to have genital herpes. I've had no any symptom, so swab test isn't available for me
