It's best to go see your doctor about this. The sooner you are seen the more likely you are to get an accurate culture and typing if it is herpes. Also the medications work best when taken as early into symptoms as possible too if this is herpes.  besides who wants to be uncomfortable for longer than they have to?

Just washing your hands after touching your genital area or using the bathroom is all you have to do. The virus is easily killed with soap and water.  You will not transmit this to your kids thru routine day to day contact. You can stop worrying about that and stop obsessively washing your hands out of worry.
