Yes the doctor did! I Myself really don't think it looks like herpes but we will see. Thank you for your response!!
It doesn't particularly look like herpes to me. I think there are other possibilities such as staph.
Did the doctor take a swab? Visual diagnoses are not very good.
If for some reason this is HSV, then it does not immediately followed that your partner cheated. They may easily have had HSV from childhood, do they get oral cold sores for example?
