Hello, I was diagnosed with Genital herpes type 2 a week ago. She gave me my pap and an IUD check. I was having pain in my groin area as well as three bumps that appeared on the outside of my vagina. All were itchy but i assumed that they were rasor bumps from shaving 2 weeks prior. She explained to me that i would need blood work done and that the groin pain was an indication of infection. Since all of this i am just paranoid i am scared to touch any part of my body, while showering while scratching while anything! My doctor told me to call if i have another outbreak but should I call anyway so she can give me meds? My question is how to i keep up with hygiene? do i wash my hands after a shower as well? how can i keep from spreading this to other parts of my body?? The doctor did not give me any information i just recieved a call and was told i had type 2 genital herpes the new one .. whatever that means
