Hi everyone. My name is Kenzie, I'm a 21 year old recent transplant to the Bay Area. I was diagnosed with Herpes about 3 months ago. I have my good and bad days...

I'm still pretty angry, but that's for a different category.

For now, I guess I'll just say hello. I've been in search of a support system for about the last month, and have joined a few different places. I hope that many of you will eventually consider me a resource...as I seem to have already considered you.

I've been reading through posts, and you all seem to be very understanding. I think that is what I've been longing for lately. So thank you everyone! Thank you for making so many people feel at ease when it seemed to be the furthest from their minds.

Hi Kenzie, I had family in the Bay Area... I love it there.

Nope you are not alone, as this message board CLEARLY shows....there are people of ALL walks of life here. Moms, dads, lawyers, doctors, working class folks, teens, college students....it goes on and on. While we all suffer together with this wretched disease, we can all learn from one another and help each other. And pray for a vaccine or SOMETHING to end this ridiculous disease which should have been decimated YEARS ago.

I hope you find the help you need here...I know I do....it is a good board to come to and learn and vent! hahahaha. :p

Hey there

I'm pretty new to this too (6 months). It is so hard to get support because people don't understand and I don't know who to tell. I am considering telling my mom, but I don't want her to worry or feel sad about it. I called my work EAP program last week because I was feeling so awful, and I think that the counselor's reaction to me made me feel even worse. I could hear judgment in her voice like I was a horrible person. In reality, I know I am smart, pretty, nice, likeable, and many other great things. We all just need to keep those things in our heads. Chin up.

      I’m super confused I need answers

      By Hiitsmeimtheproblem · Posted

      To give some context I hve been suffering with this for the last 6/7 years this came about after I had varicella zoster on the inside of my body a week after I started getting clusters of spots on the top of my buttock they are not painful as such can be itchy at times but majority of the time I don’t feel it when I have an outbreak. I’ve been to various doctors who say it’s a fungal skin infection or a bacterial skin infection. I’ve asked if it’s herpes but they will say it’s not without even testing it.

      Hello there @momma267 and welcome. There is no reason to believe that what you have there is other than a pressure sore, something that has emerged from rubbing with clothing or butt cheeks and exacerbated by bacteria or yeast.  Note that the first you’d learn of herpes is unlikely to be on your butt, instead where it enters your body, this is usually within the vaginal lips for females.

      Blister on butt from sitting extended and excessive sweating

      So to begin with, I am 26 and have been with the same partner for 8 years. I have only been with three people ever, one completely protected and the other we were both our firsts. I got this rash on my but while pregnant and my doctor said she was testing for it and I'm so confused. I've had two babies, breastfeed, and never had anything as much as a cold sore. Does this look like something anyone has experienced? I used fragrant soap down there and am hoping it's contact dermatitis or a heat rash from sweating and gaining so much weight.  Advice would be helpful. I'm stressing out a bit as I am pregnant.

      top lip bumps

      By harrygauff · Posted

      Hi, it is me again, apologies for the recent influx of posts. I've noticed a slightly raised area on the middle of my top lip with what i feel are some bumps. i do have a habit of biting my lips a fair bit and this area is frequented by my teeth. I haven't noticed any unusual/abnormal tingling or burning or pain sensations. the photos are a bit difficult to focus on them but do these seem like the start of cold sores? note: I will be visiting the drs for an std checkup in the coming week. https://imgur.com/gallery/YLVA5us
