Hi, this doesnot appear at all as a herpes sore at all. Herpes sores are not white but are filled with clear liquid that open and spread. See a doc for a swab if it will lower your anxiety but dont be surprised when it comes back negative.
The high risk group for those that contract herpes are long term monogomus couples where one person is infected.
Thank your for the reply!
I've have booked into the GUM clinic on Friday to get it swabbed.
If I may ask one final question, wouldn't a herpes sore or lesion burst long before 9/10 days? This doesn't appear to be doing anything, not getting bigger, filled up/ smaller
I appreciate your time Life360.
Thank you.
Mike
After coming to the surface, it should open shortly there after as is a blister type sore with a thin flim covering and easy to pop from rubbing on cloths and spreads to the surrounding area in a cluster type grouping.
Thank you again,
I'd just like to update that it started off white, it's now red round the edges where I've probably been checking it and pale in middle, it's the size of a pencil eraser. It doesn't seem like a blister and not filling with liquid or painful
Thanks again
Hi Life,
Just to keep you updated, I went to the clinic today and they said it was infected hair follicle that's turned into a cyst which should heal on its own.
Thank you for your help, it really put my mind at ease and helped me actually do some work and get through the days.
And thanks for all the selfless work you do here, it has meant a lot to me and im sure other people, you are a credit to the site.
