Hello,
From these symptoms, herpes should be ruled out. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak.
The only way of ruling it out is by getting yourself tested for genital herpes. Laboratory tests include: culture of the virus, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) studies to detect virus, skin biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test for presence of viral DNA. I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and get it ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Update for my condition. The 2 blisters healed..... however the red inflamed rash remains. Its been there now for 8 or 9 months with no spreading, and no healing (that I can see). It remains very sensative to and rubbing in my pants while walking, but isn't really painful. If I have sex, or masterbate it is much more sensative the next few days. I've left it alone for weeks to see if it would heal. Nothing. There must be something I can do..... I've tried vitamin E lotions, cortizone 10, I even got scammed into buying emu oil. Nothing works. I started taking probiotics thinking it could be yeast infection related. Nothing helps. Please give me a shot in the dark guess....anything. I called local derm offices and the earliest I can get in is feb of next year. Oh.....blood tests came back negative for herpes (which cost me $95!) But I knew it wasn't herpes cause herpes doesn't leave a longterm rash! Please help!
