Sorry about how blurry are the pics. And I am so concerned right now that I forgot about condensing all my concerns in one post as much as possible and avoid sending so many.. My apologies. The pic shows some redness with a tiny wound already showing scab. This was something unexpected and I would love to hear your opinion about it. I’ll explain in more detail : 3 days ago, after a routine self checkout, I accidentally scratch a follicule on my lower scrotum. Next day there was some redness surrounding a tiny wound that would STING WHEN EXPOSED TO ALCOHOL( I put a little on purpose to see if it was a wound). It has been 3 days and has now a little scab. Never looked like a blister. Went to doctor yesterday and a soon as she looked at it concluded that wasn’t herpes. She said it didn’t looked like it and that it always manifest itself through BLISTERS.

I have read testimonies of some people who have HSV1 and 2 ( l have HSV1 myself) who say have very mild HSV 2 OB’s. So mild that won’t even develop into blister or bumps. They see just tiny irritated ‘cuts’ and claim they clear fast.

1. How common is seeing HSV2 OBs that manifest this way? So mild? Mainly in people who also have HSV1? Can a HSV 2 OB manifest this way as a tiny wound already showing a scab all over a period of 3-4 days without hadn’t shown no blisters?

You see my concern? I know I already have a negative result 4 months after exposure. And that relieves me a lot… Your words also give me confidence. But now with this thing I just noticed on my scrotum ( 10 days after my last test) and after reading those testimonies, fear is coming back again…

Please if you don’t mind sharing with me your opinions about this scenario.
Now I can’t stop thinking this is a HSV2 OB manifesting itself so mild due to my HSV1 condition.

Also that area show on the pic is the bottom area of my scrotum. And I also meant to ask you…

2. Would that be consider a typical, common area for OBs to show up? I have understood, and have seen diagrams that show that OBs show up in areas that are involved in several minutes friction during sex like penis shaft, and upper scrotum ( which gets to touch labia on women).

Plz let me know if I still can ask more, or if I need to pay another round.

Terri… Thanks for your patience. I wasn’t expecting this after waiting so long for my last test from which I was so happy. Thanks for your understanding.
