Swab a lesion that i thought is herpes but it was negative. what is it? doctor says acne but it's burns and stings
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: Without knowing what the doctor did with the swab specimen (microscopic exam vs viral culture) it is difficult to know what this is without seeing it. Is your doctor a dermatologist. If not you may want to get a second opinion.
