Did a swab culture test for suspected herpes 2 days and a half after it showed. it's negative and doctor says just acne.it was itching.i trust result?

Herpes simplex: These lesions are usually characteristic and difficult to mistake for acne. If the culture was negative it is unlikely to be Herpes, but without seeing these it is impossible to really tell.
