PLEASE HELP ME
I am freaking out. I have had an unknown rash for about two years. Prior to getting the rash I had vaginal pain and tingling and my leg and groin hurt. The rash has been swabbed over five times, biopsied, and ive had multiple negative igg blood tests. I still continue to get the rash and have leg pain quite often. The rash has been ruled as yeast as i get yeast and bv often. I have severe ocd and fear i have herpes. can someone help ease my mind im so miserable and depressed.

If you've had multiple swabs and negative IgG tests, it can't be herpes. Medically and scientifically, it can't be.
Herpes symptoms wouldn't last for 2 years, either. A herpes outbreak lasts about a week, on average.
What did the biopsy show?

The biopsy showed up as some type of dermatitis. It is just very odd because I get leg pain prior to the rash. I should include the first few times I got the rash I had severe vaginal pain. Its hard to get this out of my mind. Thanks for answering me anything is helpful to my current mental state.
Did they give you a name of the type of dermatitis? It could be that before a flare of whatever this is, your nerves get irritated, causing the leg pain.
Did they tell you how to treat or prevent the dermatitis, if you can? There are several different types of dermatitis, and treatment can be different. If you don't know what type you have, or the treatment for it, follow up with your doctor to ask some questions. You deserve to have this information.

It is atopic dermatitis. I have medicine but it doesn’t always work. I also have reoccurring yeast and bv. I am just terrified it’s herpes and I am going to pass it to my partner
You can't transmit what you don't have.
If the medication you have isn't working, follow up with your doctor. If you are getting recurrent yeast and BV (and I get it - that's awful), try a probiotic. I take FemDophilous by Jarrow, but there are tons of others out there that are similar.
Are you wearing cotton underwear, or at least underwear with a cotton crotch? Are you using scented body wash or taking bubble baths? Douching? Don't douche unless told to by a doctor - it's terrible for the really delicate balance of good and bad bacteria naturally found in our vaginas that help keep it all in check. If you use wipes, they can't be scented either. Look for natural ones.
Don't use scented laundry detergent, toilet paper, or anything that comes near your vagina. If you can, avoid pantyhose and tights. Avoid anything that isn't breathable, including shapewear, or wear a slip shapewear.
Are you using lubes for sex? Avoid any with glycerin in them. Search google for best lubes for yeast and bv or something similar and you'll find a ton of info.
Your atopic dermatitis might even be caused by one of these things you're using.
It's overwhelming. I know. Being a woman just sucks sometimes.

I do have chronic yeast and bv. I was giving my partner head and all the sudden he had a cut on his penis. We looked at it looked like a small burn or cut. It felt a lot better two days later. Could he have herpes now? Im not ok i need advice.
Probably not herpes if it healed in 2 days. Did he get it checked by a doctor? Did you maybe nick him with your teeth? Has he ever been tested for herpes? You don't have it, so you can't give it to him.
Why are you so afraid of herpes? You don't have it.

I just feel like i have it due to my symptoms. Then this happened. He didnt notice anything before so im assuming he cut it somehow? Last night it was much less painful it only hurts when it is touched.
You don't have it. Your testing has proven that. If you can't let go of that, perhaps it's time to talk to a mental health professional and I say that with compassion. Health stuff can really mess us up.
If you didn't nick him with your teeth, he needs to get that checked out by a doctor promptly, as in today or tomorrow. Don't have any kind of sex with him until he does. It may not be anything sexually related, but it could still be something bacterial or fungal that you could get if you have sex with him - oral, vaginal or anal.

I am already getting mental health help. It happened as i was giving him head. As of yesterday its basiclly healed. do you think we are good?
If it's still hurting, it hasn't healed.
You didn't give him herpes because you don't have it. I don't know what it is, but it isn't herpes. Only a doctor can tell him what it is. You haven't said you nicked him with your teeth, or maybe your nails, and I can only go on what you say. If you didn't nick him, the cut came from somewhere. If you know how he got the cut, and don't want to share it, that's fine. You don't have to. But you didn't give him herpes because you don't have it.
If you didn't cut him or don't know where the cut came from, don't do anything until he sees a doctor.
