Let us know what the Doc says though.
Well, I just got back from the doc's office.
She noted that there was quite a bit of irritation and thinks folliculitis, and prescribed an oral antibiotic (Keflex) for 7 days to clear that up.
She also decided to run a herpes swab, just to be safe, she said. (I supposed it's possible, but really unlikely. Nonetheless, just that word freaks me out!)
I suppose that lumps and bumps down there for us ladies could be ALL kinds of weird and wacky things, so I guess I can't expect a primary care doc to be a specialist in "saddle sores".
Guess I'll take my anitbiotics and wait & see.
I hate the fact that I tend to worry and freak about pretty much everything.
