Yes only the IgG test has credibility. Publish those results here (which will be negative or reveal an oral HSV1 infection I feel sure) and get a referral to see a dermatologist.

PCR on blood is the wrong test.

You need to take charge here. You have all the information you need off here to obtain the correct testing. Every test you have had is not suggesting herpes and nor do the symptoms.

Time to man up, get the tests and see the right doctor to diagnose. This is your body and your life, stop putting up with this!!

No this is not herpes.

But what are your doctors saying this might be? What specialists have you been referred to? Have you been to a dermatologist? They are very good and most often diagnose accurately and fast!
