I’m confused and freaking out between all of my googling.
I shaved my genital area on a Friday night. Monday morning I felt some irritation down there. Monday night there was about 4 bumps and swelling on my labia near my vaginal opening. They looked and felt like zits. Not soft kind of hard and white like a pimple ready to pop. There was swelling in the area. On Tuesday the bumps were gone, no sign of what looked like whiteheads. Only thing left was i guess open skin where each pimple had been. No craters. No oozing, no crusting. Just looked like the top layer of skin was gone. The only soreness was when I touched the area. On Thursday I decided to go get swabbed for herpes at the clinic. Thursday evening through Friday I put neosporin on the area. The tenderness and swelling went down almost immediately.On Saturday there was no sign anything had ever occurred. I used no other cream or medication. On Monday my results came back negative for hsv 2 and positive for hsv 1. My question is was this definitely an hsv 1 genital outbreak, or is it possible that I just have the oral virus in my body and thats why it showed up when tested? I’ve never had any symptom before not even a cold sore which I know is common among people with hsv 1. Will hsv show up when tested no matter what are of the body the sample comes from?
