I forgot to mention that I was just seen at the gyno about a week ago for a UTI. I was given cipro and the infection went away.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that, unfortunately, you probably have herpes, either type one or type two. Sometimes if you already have one form, it can be somewhat protective when you contact the other form so that your out breaks are not as bad as what you have read about.
The best way to test for herpes is actually a blood test for herpes antibodies.
Your doctor may want to do a viral culture of the lesions too.
Good luck!
Dr B
