Read lots of similar stories. 54, never had a genital outbreak. Grew up, of course with cold sores on the lip once every year or 2. Reunited with a lady I adored during 10 to 16 years ago. Spent a long weekend in heaven. 2 days later she is in discomfort. a week later to the emergency room. Diagnosis, probable herpes, first time, tested, results today. She lived with a man 11 years ago for 3 years who had H and never contracted. So, I have it, no symptoms. She has it bad right now, extreme pain. Questions she has: Can she give it back to me if I already had it or have it now? In the absence of a cold sore on the lip, is it likely I gave it to her orally or I could have been one who never showed any genital symptoms and gave it that way? Is it possible to now transmit to her lips or mouth? If I have never had symptoms, will I always be that way? Will her symptoms deminish with time? Can it spread with another outbreak? Where can we find more technical info? We intend to stay together. Sex is always a risk, even with someone you trust and care about deeply. She has been on Valtrex for 4 days and still hurting really bad, worse today than yesterday.

      Blister on butt from sitting extended and excessive sweating

      By momma267 · Posted

      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

      Is this ever going away?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      To give everyone confidence that it wasn’t herpes related and conclude as the doctor did that it was a dermatitis issue to refer back to the dermatologist to continue with investigations.

      Both a dermatologist and infectious disease doctor prescribed him HSV medicine. Why would they do that if this isnt "what herpes really does"?
