Possibly New Herpes Diagnosis
Hey there- currently experiencing what I believe to be my first outbreak. I am a bit overwhelmed and kind of scared so I went to the internet to try and find answers and wound up here!
Has anyone experienced an outbreak where a sore presents in more of a ‘cut’ shape instead of the normal circle shape?
Is there anything I can do or use to help cause pain relief while I’m awaiting confirmation of diagnosis and meds?
UPDATE: lab results came in for the blood test, both HSV 1&2 are reading non reactive but I am Still very much experiencing outbreak symptoms. Day 6 of outbreak/ since testing and finally got swab test back. I am positive for HSV-1
