Hello,

I understand your concern for herpes. After reading your query I can not make out that you are presently suffering form herpes.

To tell you about Herpes lesions – these visible as small vesicles (fluid filled blisters). These persist for just a day or two and then form ulcers which are quite painful. These ulcers then heals in next 5-7 days.

To start on these vesicles are quite painful and itchy with discomfort. Once the vesicles burst in a day or two then the ulcers which are formed are quite painful for next 4-5 days. So the symptoms can never go unnoticed.
In yourself I can make out that no such symptom is present matching with the above symptoms.

Meet a dermatologist if the lesions are not healing to get proper diagnosis and treatment.

All the best.
