, if it is noticable and the time line does fit a herpes outbreak, you may want to get it checked ASAP so a Dr. could look at it and say yes or no. Don't wait for it to disappear. If you have it now and can see them, get it looked at before they disappear and then no one will know what it is till a few months when the blood tests would be accurate. Also, get into this with your girlfriend and see if she is positive for HSV. Get it checked out ASAP!!!!
