forgot to mention right after lesions appeared i asked the co-worker (who i do trust) and she says she's never had any problems.
You can have a type specific IgG blood test now to find out about herpes, but it sounds like a dry skin or dermatitis issue, and you should let your doctor check it out.
I have an appointment with the doctor again for thursday. How long do the results for the blood work usually take?
If you are testing for herpes then the conclusive test is 4 months past exposure.
If you are asking how long it will be before you get the results back, it could be anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Every office is different, and it depends on how they receive the results back from the lab, how busy the lab is, etc. Ask your doctor.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but i forgot to mention that ive had the dry skin for about 2 weeks and goes away daily and than comes back. right now im S*****g bricks. Haven't told the g/f about this and haven't had sex since the incident. This is what i get for being an ******* cheater.
I still have no symptoms, but the more I read on here, the more I worry I have a problem. There's a weird tingle where the dry skin is, but only when I start to worry about this... No pain urinating, no fever, shills, lymph swelling etc. I appreciate the advice so far. I just want this to be over with. :(
My own idiocy!
It still isn't sounding like herpes - it sounds like dry skin or dermatitis or something.
Perhaps you should stop with the internet until you get your results back?
Just make sure to get a type specific IgG blood test, and you'll be good.
i really appreciate the help, was talking to the co-worker tonight, she informs me that she had gone in for a full physical less than a month ago and was given a clean bill of health. still going to doctor thursday. Much appreciated again!
