Ok, so about 2 months ago i returned from a vacation to Mexico City, when i started developing a rash on my lower back which started with a mosquito bite feeling bump (it itched). I had not had sexual intercourse for almost 9 months, and she was a virgin (seriously) we were both each other's first. I was prescribed an antibiotic for what almost looked like a pilonidal cyst. The rash went away for what seemed completely for a while, but then the bump had returned. Now it is back and almost looks sacral herpes. 2 questions. Would antibiotics suppress the herpes outbreak (since herpes is a virus and antibiotics attack bacteria) i might be answering my own question but just curious. 2nd) has anyone experienced something similar this?
