Before figuring they are herpes, they should be swab tested to determine if that is a correct assumption. I don’t know if they are herpes or not, but given you trying to sort out the location of your HSV 1 infection, I think it would be good to rule that in or out for these lesions, that’s all.
I don’t believe that you have gotten a positive swab from any location yet, so when you say you get your herpes in all these different locations, I don’t believe that is actually accurate. You get things that you think MIGHT be herpes in those locations and you are trying to sort out what is herpes and what is not by using these swabs.
PCR swabs will pick up virus even in scabbed situations often. If you want to swab these, then run a swab over the top several times and put it in the vial. You don’t have to use separate vials – if you put all the swabs in one vial from, say, the head area, you will know that something in that swab is positive and that would be the location of your HSV 1 (at least one location).
I see one charge from yesterday for $20 and only one from today for $20. I will keep an eye on this if you are seeing three posts for $20.
