Could I have Herpes or Cold Sores? | Forum profile

just found out good fucking news. a herpes test is gonna run me $70 dollars a full screen will cost me $160. thats not happening,thats all money i dont have. fuck that. Planned parenthood is fucking crazy. I dont know what else to do. I think im just gonna keep it rolling and say fuck it.They wont do shit unless u pay em up front. wow. thats solid healthcare jesus christ, what a pile of bullshit. Any ideas??

the same lil circle poped up in march/april and was there for about 3 or 4 days and then was gone until a few days ago. it did the same thing. at that time i was with my ex and we had been together for a year. i mean she could have been fucking other guys and likely was. what condition has these symptoms that pop up 7-8 months apart? ive scoured the net for a pic that has a condition like mine but found nothing

Thanks Undefeated. I'm still worried but glad that she hasn't developed any other symptoms. I haven't told her what I'm thinking because I don't want to scare her. I'm asking her like ever 30 minutes how she's feeling, she's probably suspecting something by now...

well my best guess is it is not herpes... and other then that idk i would go to the doctor while they bumps and such are still there so they could do testing. i havent seen anything like it. expecailly with you not having any symptoms bc with most std and stuff like that there are symptoms

I've had it happen! It sounds more like a poorly placed pimple outbreak, but I have had them pop up without any noticeable symptoms beforehand. Usually when they crop up fast they disappear fast too though

Thanks for the response. It gives me some hope. I'll get tested in a few months. Cheers

Forgot to mention, it only itched a lot the first day. Itched a little the next day and now the itching is completely gone but the sore is still there

i suggest you get a blood test. if u were infected 8 months ago then it would be in your blood by now. you can also go and get the area swabbed, but since it's been there for awhile and it looks like there isn't any puss then it might come back neg anyway. go get swabbed and blood tested. some people have pain associated with herpes and others don't. there really isn't anyway to tell w/out a blood test.

well where all do u have it and what symptoms go with it
