The doctor, (who diagnosed me yesterday), thinks the skin infection on my toes is Herpes simplex. I have no idea why/how. I have never had "intimate" contact with ANYONE. Not even kissing. No one has come into contact with my foot either. I'm now on anti-herpes meds and I'm worried it isn't herpes. It was a diagnosis based on visual examination and not a culture collection/testing.
Any ideas?

The actual skin infection itself hadn't started until around the 12th, and I haven't been anywhere except home and the store since the 1st.

Oh... there are many different strains of the herpes simplex virus. If you have ever had chicken pox, you've had herpes simplex. At 15, and a virgin, I had shingels which is a form of the chicken pox virus.. a cold sore is a form of the herpes simplex. It's very easy to get and really nothing to worry about. If you take a shower at the gym, you could have gotten it there.. so don't worry dear. It's ok. :)

I got clinically diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about 4 years back, when I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I know loads of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/SbCWB everything got better.
Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.

Don't get excited most of use carry the herpes simplex 1 virus,
if you had chickenpox--guess what--same family. And one you have it you have it. You have it on your toe? Well that has nothing to do with sexual contact. People get what's called hand -foot-and-mouth disease-which is a form of herpes, also herpetic whitlow is a herpes infection of the fingers. If you are being treated, that's good. And yes without a culture your doctor could be totally wrong. Good Luck

You need to get him to do a blood sample or skin sample to be sure. If he doesn't want to see another doctor and get a second opinion. He may be treating you for something you don't even have.
