i gave unprotected oral sex and might be infected with herpes
I gave my bf unprotected oral sex 6 days ago.
the next day i had these flu like symptoms with a runny nose and some throat conjestion which cleared out the next day; however, 2 days ago small pimples started appearing around my mouth and chin and i think i might have itched them a bit cz it felt itchy and may have spread them allover my face and maybe my neck (even the area around my eyes) but the pimples i have are small separate pimples (not clusters)!!! My face really itches but i'm trying not to touch it as much as possible; other than that i dont feel any pain, just the urge to itch!!
could this be a sign of herpes?! or could it be something else? i've scheduled for a doctor's appointment next thursday but i'm too stressed out and looking for some info here!! soo plzzz any help is much appreciated!

The best thing you can do is go and be seen by a Doctor today if possible (perhaps a walk in clinic somewhere) and get the area swabbed/cultured and make sure they "type it" so you will know what you have when the results come back. It could be many many
different things but it does not hurt to have them swabbed/cultured. It is best if you can get them swabbe/cultured with in 24-48 hrs from when they are first noticed. By the time you are at you Doctors appt next week they may be gone or the Doctor may not be able to swab/culture them any more.

It could be many many different things and the best way to get an answer is to be seen by a Doctor and if 10 Hrs is the best you can do then go for it. Hopefully the swab/culture is not to late. And the Doc can give you the best answer if it is or is not herpes.
I do not have a medical background so I cnnnot comment on if it is herpes or not. Seeing a Doctor is the best way to have it assessed and get answers.
