Rape/Herpes

[heavenisnearyou.livejournal.com]

Ok, some of you may recall the post. (http://community.livejournal.com/vaginapagina/7634831.html)

Now, the bump I had scabbed and went away. Now there's another one. I've kinda given up hope that this is anything but genital herpes. After all, "moscullum" only occurs once after contact, right? I know I need to get tested, but I really don't want anybody looking at the actual sores. It's embarrassing. Are blood tests effective for STDs? Are there conditions? I appreciate the help.

Molluscum

[wellinformed.livejournal.com]

Hi, I just wanted to let you know as someone who was previously misdiagnosed with genital warts and then found out after lab tests that they were molluscum, that it can be very difficult to distinguish between the two. Molluscum can reappear after going away as people often spread it to themselves. Plus some molluscum can be quite persistent lasting up to 6 mos-2yrs. I encourage you to see a doctor and have her send it to a lab to be sure. Best of luck!
