Dear sir or madam
Can i ask you what Herpes symptom is?
I had 2 blisters in my mouth. I don't take any medicine, just use mouth rinse (like Listerine). They disappeared 5 day later. Is it symptom of Herpes?
And I have some small red dot on my upper body. They are not itchy or hurt. I don't know when they are appeared. Can it be a symptom of any sti?
And I have some discharge on my face, no hurt, no itchy. They were there 2 weeks and don't have any changed. Is it ok?
I'm sorry because asking too much. Because I feel very nervous. Please, answer me little bit details and give me some detail about sti first symptom which I need to pay attention to.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
STI are unlikely as the tests were negative
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
I can understand your concern.
Appearance of blisters (multiple, tiny and grouped) around the angle of mouth or nose and subsequent tiny grouped ulceration are the manifestations of Herpes simplex infection. Herpes infection around mouth not necessarily be due to STI.
As all your STI tests after 12 weeks after risk contact were negative, you need not worry about STI. Red dots over body and your face problem are not related to STI. Consult a Dermatologist if the symptom persists.
Feel free to ask if you have more doubts.
