So probably this isn't herpes. The swab test probably will be negative.
They only suspected 1 blister to be a herpe but they were not sure so they did a swab test . The first 2 doctors just looked at it and said they were pimples . Or just irritated skin . To me they do not look like herpes . My mother took a look and also said no because my older sister was infected with herpes when she was 18 . Years ago and my mother says she was so swollen she could not walk .
If the blisters and irritation are pretty much in the exact area in contact with the pad, you can safely assume this isn't herpes. Sounds more like irritation, an allergic reaction, etc. But what did they say? Did they suspect herpes when they did the test? I hope it was a swab test for culture or PCR, and not just a blood test.
