There is nothing else we can do here for you. You need to have face to face follow up with a provider to find out what is going on.

oops, I posted under wrong name. I am registered under 2 names. Sorry for the confusion. Update - okay, there looks to be a vaginal tear and then there is red mark that is not blister/ulcer and another very small red mark. I had sex for the 1st time since diagnosis and took 2 valtrex 1G that day (have been taking it daily) and used protection. What are the chances that I am now having my second outbreak after this? What are the risks to my partner? I will get checked tomorrow, but I am under so extremely stressed out and worried that I have given this to him after I thought we took the necessary precautions.
Sorry, I am freaking out and cannot wait to get to the doctor on Monday. Does HSV-2 present itself as a red mark/rash that is not raised. I thought this could be reaction from the latex or some sort of bruising from rough sex. These red marks are in no way blister-like or ulcers. Just wanted to see if HSV-2 presents itself this way. Thank you for any advice.
Until you get a chance to see your provider - assume it could be a hsv2 genital recurrence. The symptoms on your lip could be anything. Since you aren't sure just what is going on - following up with your provider monday is the best course of action.

Just to clarify, by lip I mean on my face. I have a very tiny pimple on the actual lip part, but now worried that I have oral HSV-2. I know this is rare.
