Ok, I guess my question is this...are all blisters/sores/swelling in the genital area genital herpes?
I've been married for 21 years and we have problems, but I've never thought he had another partner ever. He's used porn and that's been an issue, but no affairs.
About 3 weeks ago my dh developed red sores uncomfortable/painful sores on his genital area. They soon developed liquid-y blisters. We were on vacation, but when we returned he went to the doctor as he really was bothering him. He said the doctor doesn't know what it is and asked him if he'd had extra-marital relations to which he answered no. (I wasn't there, but again, I can't imagine it) The doctor took blood and my dh has an appointment for sometime in December for another blood test because the doctor told him if it was herpes it was probably too soon for it to show up in his blood.
Here's another thing...my husband donates blood regularly and they do blood tests on that blood...so if he'd had it a while it would have shown up, wouldn't it?
So...the doctor gave him an antifungal cream (I think). AND he gave him a 2 week supply of a herpes medication.
I'm freaked out. Could this be anything besides herpes???? My dh doesn't seem concerned at all.
Thanks so much.
