A member asked:
Doc said folliculitis but i think herpes--am i just being paranoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would believe Doc: Most competent physicians can easily tell the difference between herpes and folliculitis. If, however, you are not convinced, get a second opinion. Doubt you are paranoid, but perhaps skeptical.
