I understand that this change is scary for you. So you know that you have genital herpes and you recognize outbreaks, but this one is different because of the swollen lymph nodes, is that right? Is it mainly the swollen lymph nodes that are worrying you?
The canker sores in your mouth are likely not related, hard to say. Is there anything else about your general health that has changed? Anything else going on in the genital area, any possibility of other infections or problems, anywhere from your waist on down?

Thanks Terry, there is nothing else going on down my waist, but is scary becuase my outbrake is on my right buttock and I have swollen lymphs nodes on both sides of the groin, painful, I don't think I have others swollen lymph nodes no where else, but is weird usually during my outbrakes I have swollen nodes only in the same side of the outbrake, I'm scary
