Sorry I forget something ...  I had paper cut on my finger with little pain and a crank sore inside my mouth ... Is that related for herpes ? I test negative for herpes after 3 months ?

you've tested negative for herpes so why do you think you have whitlow?

see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation.

the only way to test for whitlow is a lesion culture of active symptoms. what you describe does not sound like whitlow is going on plus if you did have it, your blood tests would've been positive for some type of herpes at this point most likely.
