They do a swab culture which is DNA based and is good test for diagnosing topical skin issues.

What is a PCR test? Never heard of it I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff lol

[Life360_Dave]

No i have not but having a PCR test would be something to consider as you need to find out what this is.

Hi, what you need to do first is eliminate any herpes issues if thats what your concerned about. Best to have a swab of the area and some cultures done and a PCR test to determine what the infection is and a blood test. But from what your describing does appear more fungal related than a herpes outbreak.
With someone with long term herpes irritations would be only on one side not all over the place.
