Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Last week I noticed pain while trying to poop. I thought it was hemorrhoids or maybe an anal fissure. I used many creams and witch hazel and that just cause sever burning. There was a pimple on the inside of my but cheek that I shaved over. I had a swollen lymph node last week also but it went away. I went to the gyn and she did a visual exam and said it was herpes she also did a swab but the results aren’t in yet. I’ve been sleeping with the same person since October and no body else 6 months prior. Could this just be an irritation of some sort rather than herpes??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are suffering from herpes infection. You should take antiviral drug as tab Acyclovir for the recommended duration. Your local doctor will prescribe this as it is a prescription drug. Herpes infection also gets transmitted by nonsexual methods.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi
