Second outbreak

I was diagnosed with gshv1 in 2012 never had another outbreak n was one bump n got antivirals to clear it up until 6 months ago though I’m not sure if it was one it was 5 pimple looking bumps not blister in between my bum crack only one was painful n irritated because of me walking and it hurt a bit to pee if if pee went on that bump I applied benzoyl to them because the pharmacist said it sounded like follicultius and that made them pop then dry up lasted just over a week not sure if this another outbreak or follicultus or ghsv2 though me and my partner always used condom

Our members have repeatedly, patiently advised you that the only way to determine whether bumps/lesions are the result of herpes is to have them cultured by a doctor.  You may return to report the results of the culture, but we will not be able to address any further questions about the origin of any bumps/lesions that you may get.

The only way to know is to let a doctor see it and get it cultured. Do this soon - the sooner you can get this done, the more accurate the results will be.
