Herpes breakout

I need some insight...

When you had your first outbreak, did you also experience flu like symptoms? If so; what did you feel? And what other symptoms did you experience aside from a breakout.

I'm currently experiencing a breakout. I went to the doctor today and she said it looks like herpes but could be just a rash because it's only one open sore and it's right next to my anus. In the past I've had breakouts but never thought it was herpes cause i shave a lot and thought it was a cut but eventually it would go away. I have always just only had one blister, never a lot I never had breakouts in my vagina though.
