Just to update I got a full screening and am STD and STI free thankfully. I really appreciate your advice.
Kind Regards
Thank you very much. I got an awful fright. I'm still not sure how folliculitis could have spread somewhere without follicles but the doc said it's an infection that spread. May I ask what is the categorical dofference between herpes and folliculitis? I have been checked for all stds and stis and was only with one person since. He had been checked and there was a condom used and no oral sec took place but I think I will get checked anyway. I have been very upset although I know I should trust what my doctor has said. It was frightening.
You're doctor is right and because your issue cleared with antibiotics and creams you can be pretty certain that it wasn't herpes. A viral infection wouldn't have been touched by that treatment.
Was it folliculiits? Who cares? It's gone right? Let's hope it never happnes again. If something similar does happen again, get tested for HSV1 and HSV2... you should be tested anyway if you've never done so.
And take the guy with you. Anyone who thinks they know their HSV status without having tested is full of ****, by the way.
Take care
No no more symptoms or discharge at all. The week the pain started before my septic throat when I had the rough oral sex I bought all the creams such as canasten to try stop the pain and rubbed everywhere. It was when the sore throat appeared that I asked the doc to look. It was then I was diagnosed with the folliculitis. I had an ulcer on my lip I thought and he said it was from the infection. My boyfriend looked like he had one too so that's why I was thinking. But the doc said it will clear and I need to stop waxing and it did clear after the antiobiotics. He said if it is herpes it won't but it did.
So the symptoms have all cleared away? Not more pain or discharge?
