HI

Welcome to HCM

Pap smear will not detected Herpes . Its a clinical diagnosis . For confirmation you have to get TZanck Smear from the blister .

If at all you had an Unprotected Sex recently the diagnosis could be right .

So either get TZanck Smear from the blister or get a second opinion from a Dermatologist .
