Almost two weeks ago, I was diagnosed via blood test to have HSV I and II. I have had mouth sores since I was a child (HSV I, I assume) but no real symptoms that I have noticed for anything in my gential area. I have no idea how I got HSV II. Since the diagnosis however, I have been looking at myself, poking, prodding, twisting, wondering--is that a vesicle? is this an outbreak? I went to my doctor, showed him a sore that I had, right near where I had pinched myself worrying that a follicle was a vesicle, and he said "no. just chafing in a difficult spot." It went away, and I felt better. But I kept poking and prodding. I then got two more sores, similar to the first--a little redness maybe, no wetness of any kind, like a tiny depression, alone, no clusters--but again, I got them right next to the places where I kept poking, prodding, looking. They are not near each other--opposite sides of penis shaft, just below head--and one of them, in a less chafed spot, healed. The other is driving me crazy. I am just about to go on vacation in France with my wife--we have been together for five years--I do not want to infect her, but I don't know if I am even having an outbreak, or if I ever have. I may be an asymptomatic shedder or someting. When I showed my doctor the first sore, he said "I can't even really culture this," and when I asked if I should go on VAltrex, he said that I was probably going way overboard. What can I do? Is it likely that I am having an outbreak, or that I am simply causing chafing? And I do worry 24/7 about this--it is making me very depressed....
