Reply To: Constant hsv symptoms

[Jujulemon]

Also sorry I forgot to mention- I get red marks. Sometimes they’re slightly raised but the most part they’re just tiny flat red patches. Sometimes I’ll have a couple around the same area but not clustered. They’re painless and sometimes I have a few of them at the same time spaced out on completely different areas.3 doctors have told me they’re folliculitis and there’s nothing to swab or worry about. I don’t know if I’m hyper aware I’m not sure if I’ve always had them and never noticed before and I’m just paranoid. I’m constantly evaluating down there now and I can’t tell what’s normal or if they’re related to my symptoms. I would think with all this pain I am having that if they were hsv lesions they would be painful too. I’ve even put alcohol on them and they did not burn or anything. Like I said painless, maybe slightly itchy sometimes but not the point were it’s bothersome, I have not shaved in 4 months so maybe that has something to do with it. I also knicked myself trimming near my inner vaginal lip. It was a little swollen and red but was not very painful just a little tender. About a week later in the exact area where I did that, a faint yellow mark/bump appeared (kinda looks like an enlarged sebaceous gland) I doesn’t hurt just still a little tender. Gyno looked at it and said didn’t look concerning. It’s been there for about 4-5 days not and it hasn’t burst, ulcerated, or changed appearance.Do you think these are related to the symptoms I’ve been having ? I know I should listen to my gynecologist, but I don’t really trust what he says. He told me you can catch herpes from the air which I don’t believe is correct and he just doesn’t seem to be very educated on hsv. And every time I ask questions he isn’t helpful ans doesn’t take the time to listen to me.
