Two weeks ago, still paranoidParanoid personality disorder Paranoid schizophrenia Schizophrenia - paranoid type, I got rechecked by two more professionals that still told me it is nothing. I was feeling relatively fine, and the burning/tingling was virtually unoticeable until about 2 or 3 days ago when it returned. Now I do see a light pink rash that has developed in the crease in between the right side. It burns very slightly and occasionaly itches, and I also see some little white bumps at the follicles. I should also note that I have not had ANY other symptoms (fever, headach, swollen glands, blisters, etc.) that I am aware of, that would suggest Herpes. But I read that some people show no symptoms and it is sometimes mistaken for jock rash. All my experience tells me it's jock rash, but my paranoia is getting the best of me. Can you help put my mind at ease?
Also, could you please explain the truth. If a person has an initial primary outbreak of herpes, I would assume, from what I have read that there would be more then a slight rash, and there would be more signs like what I mentioned above. Am I wrong to believe this, or can an initial outbreak be similar tomy experience? Thank you.
