I really really need help, I'm going crazy.

I've had this problem since I was around 7 or 8 years old. And I've never really known what it was and I've never told my parents (I won't go into detail about it, but it's a physical thing).
I did some research last night because I was curious and I have LITTERALLY ALL the symptoms that lead to herpes. I've cried my eyes out and I'm getting so depressed, and I don't even know if I really do have it or not. And I can't think of anyway I would get them anyway because I was really young when this started.
I'm embarrased to talk about it with my parents or just to see a doctor, but I know I should.
What should I do?

You had sex willingly when you were 7 or 8? Or was there something else implied in your statement?

Well the only way you will really know is to see your doctor, And they will fix it up for you with medications or cremes or something.

Maybe you should talk to your parents, if you had it for so long chances are that one of your parents had or have it when they gave birth to you.

No, I've never had sex before.
My parents kind of know about it from when I was younger, but they have probably forgotten about it anyway.

If you aint had sex, I shouldn't worry about it. There are several form of herpes - remember, even a cold sore on the lip is a type of herpes and very very common and You don't need to have had sex to get it.

It's probably not herpes, but either way you should get it checked out. Things get worse with time in certain occasions, plus it's only going to drive you crazy until you know. Good luck to you.

Beyond:

You can't die if you catch herpes.

However, you can if you give me it!
