Reply To: Possible Herpes outbreak?

[Terri Warren]

I think it is possible that these are herpes but the pictures are not clear enough for me to be very certain about that. It would definitely be a good idea for these bumps to be evaluated by a professional and swab tested for herpes if they believe they could be herpes. I might think they were molluscum contagiosum except the bases of the lesions are so red and irritated looking. They could also be staph or strep. But these need to be looked at by a professional and viral or bacterial cultures taken. Are you able to go in and see someone about this?
