So my 1 year old had her 12 month check up today. I was at work, but her father took her in. Not an hour later I got a text telling me the doctor thinks she had type 2 herpes and I am losing my mind. I’m spiraling.
She has had a diaper rash for about a week, it started with just your typical redness and then it got very painful to where we had to use a perri bottle instead of wipes. A couple days after that I noticed a couple sores near her peri area, and then all of these little pimple like red bumps appeared on the lining of her buttcrack and around her anus.
I assumed this was just a REALLY bad diaper rash and since her appointment was so soon I figured we’d try to treat it and if it hadn’t gotten better we’d address it at the check up.
The pediatrician told my partner she thought it looked like type 2 herpes more than anything else and asked if our 1 year old daughter had been abused. She took a swab and sent it off to the lab and now we have three days of absolute hell until we get the results.
My partner and I work opposite shifts as to avoid babysitters. She has only been at her grandmas and other family’s members house while supervised. We do not know anyone with herpes. We do not have it. The fact that someone may have even touched my precious baby has had me spiraling since I got the notification. It has to of been a family member if she does have it.
She shows no other signs or symptoms of herpes, her mouth was checked out and it seemed fine. She screamed when the Doctor did the swabs but besides that it doesn’t seem very painful.
Idk. I’m just at a loss, I haven’t been able to stop crying and my mind will not stop reeling.
Her doctor said it could be a staph infection but she highly doubts it and suspects herpes. Of course the only thing I can do is wait for test result and try to hold it together but I just can’t.
Has anyone dealt with any similar situation? According to Google bad diaper rashes or yeast infections can cause the pimples, I just don’t know who would’ve hurt my baby.
