Groin rash
So two years ago I had a HSV scare; I had a strange rash on my lower abdomen/groin which persisted for about six months despite repeated antiviral & antibiotic treatment. An early HSV test was low-level positive, a WB confirmatory was inconclusive, and another HSV test came back negative. I met with 9 doctors including a HSV specialist who declared it was NOT herpes related.
After meeting with a dermatologist who analyzed all my results and symptoms, she prescribed an antibiotic-antiviral-antifungal regimen, and the rash cleared. She told me she thought it had to be HSV related, but couldn't explain my symptoms or test results.That was 19 months ago.
Now, I've two or three tiny sores in the same area. No itching, no oozing, pussing, pain, burning or anything else. See the photo. I cant decide if it seems herpic in nature. I posted a picture here...open to interpretations. Please help!
