within the past week, i have noticed this little red mark on my perineum. There are no clusters, no blisters, no puss, no bleeding, no itch ,no legions in numerous areas of my body, no anything. But it hurts if a little bit of pee gets on it. The actual act of urinating doesn't hurt when it comes out my vagina. i went to the doctor yesterday and she says it doesn't follow the classic symptoms of herpes but took a culture nonetheless. i wear a lot of thongs maybe there was just some rubbing going on that led to this redness? It's right between my anus and my vagina. It looks ripped or scratched, stretched but there are no bumps, blisters, or sores. The doctor agreed that it just looked raw like it ripped or tight clothing rubbed against it. She said that because it's so sensitive in just that extremely red area, no other legions or anything, that she doesn't believe it's herpes. She did a culture just for good measure but kept saying that she thinks the test will come back negative because I don't have any of the classic symptoms and the one irritation I have on my perineum doesn't look like a classic herpes legion. There were no other legions, no clusters of blisters or anything anywhere on the rest of my body, no discharge, NOTHING. Doesn't itch, I mean i'm still nervous nonetheless because I've never had to worry about anything like this before. i have no idea what's going on. Any suggestions. i have been using neosporin and it helps alot. just nervous! HELP!
