Brief Answer:
I need to know if you indulge in high risk behaviour

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the description and have checked the attached image. I would need to know if your having sex was actually a part of high risk behaviour and whether there could be a possibility of sexually transmitted diseases. The pimples could be due to herpes infection but I would need more information to be able to confirm on it. Please mention if they are painful. Based on that I would be able to give my inputs.

Regards

What do i need to do obvioisly go get checked but what happens if i test positive

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Herpes infection should subside soon on its own.

Detailed Answer:
For herpes, you need not get any tests done. It should subside on its own in a week or so. But you did not answer whether you have been indulging in high risk behaviour. If that is the case, there are other things to be tested for. I would suggest you to visit a venerologist in such a case.
