A member asked:

How do you know if have herpes down below? i had a mark for two weeks. its still there. it doesnt burn when i touch it?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. A blood test can determine if are infected with HSV 1 and/or HSV 2. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

More detail is needed, but herpes is very unlikely for a skin problem that remains unchanged for 2 weeks. See a doctor if you remain concerned.
