Is A Discolored Spot In The Anal Region Indicative Of Anal Herpes?
Question: does this look like a healing anal herpes spot ( like scabbing) or is it just a freckle/mole
Brief Answer:
It's not healing herpes!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Herpes cause ulcers and severe pain. This is not that suggestive of herpes after reviewing both images.
It is more of skin discoloration. I recommend you monitor only for changes in color and size. No need to to get worried by this at this time unless there is something else that you have not disclosed to me.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
