hi did you ever find out what it was? and how to treat it?
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Do i need to wait a full twelve weeks to have this blood test done. And is there anything i can do to be sure about not having either HPV or HSV. I dont want to take anything into my new relationship I would be devastated if I infected someone.
Hi
There are several factors involved here: The burning pain may be secondary to a previous trauma, may be infectious, and may be a dermatitic skin reaction. In your case, these three are possible differentials. At this point, I do not think it is HSV or HPV. Although the absence of a rash or bumps on the skin does not necessarily rule out an infection by HSV or HPV. These viruses may be present for years without skin manifestations. Although, as in cases of HSV, viral shedding may occur even if the patient is asymptomatic. A blood test may be done (determine antibodies) to see if an acute infection is present.
