Worried That You've Seen These Images of Herpes?

If you've seen these images of herpes on you then you should consider getting them checked out by a doctor for symptoms of herpes.

A recent CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) study in 2010 indicates that 1 out of every 6 Americans have genital herpes. Isn't that amazing?

But the mind blowing statistic is that 80% of people don't even know they have it! 

That's why its so important that people see some basic herpes images, so that they can recognize the symptoms of herpes in themselves or their partner.

Now I'm not a doctor. You're not a doctor.

So if you see anything like this on your body or on your partner's body then you should go get a herpes test at a doctor's office.

If I had seen these genital herpes images then I would have gone to a doctor sooner than I did.

Remember as soon as you get tested, you can know for sure, then begin the healing and growing process.

Life will go on with Herpes.

This is a common place for a genital herpes outbreak, but herpes outbreaks can occur anywhere around the groin area including:

  • herpes outbreaks on the scrotum

  • herpes outbreaks on the inner thighs or on the buttock

Basically, anytime you see something strange or red around the groin area you want to go see a doctor for a herpes test.

What Should You Do Next After Looking at Herpes Photos?

Remember, according to a recent study, 80% of people don't realize that they have genital herpes.

So if you're looking at these images of herpes, you're probably concerned that you might have the symptoms of herpes.

Or maybe you've seen these herpes photos on your sexual partner. And they're not telling you or they're in denial about it.

So take a deep breath. This can be a stressful and awkward time for everyone involved.

Consider holding off from sexual activity until you visit a doctor to get a herpes test.

And don't worry, even if you do have herpes of any type, your life will go on and you will still find happiness and love and have great sex.

It's not the end of anything, it's just the start of a new life.
