Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I just stumbled across this site while doing some research on the subject. I've recently been diagnosed with H-1 of the genitals (about 2 months ago). It was obviously shocking and I felt like life was over. However, I've recently gotten back somewhat to my optimistic self, but only with with help and support; although I do have my occasional "bad" days.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

I think you have a great attitude and THIS is going to be what helps you in the fight against this virus. Sure , we all have down days, I have had some real black ones, but we MUST fight against it and not let it take us down. For the most part I am optimistic as well, I generally have my "bad days" during an outbreak (and duh, who doesn't!) and recently I have developed some psychosomatic issues since the birth of my son (OCD, fear of transmitting it somehow to him, etc.) but even then, I just try to stay on top of things and not let it get me down.

So I am glad to hear you are feeling like your "old self!' that is great! On those "down days" just be sure to take care of yourself. Herpes outbreaks are sometimes a wake up call, like...hey lady! Take your vitamins, eat well, exercise, go read a book, go listen to some music....relax, stop stressing......

Take care!

Ouch

      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.

      Blister on butt from sitting extended and excessive sweating

      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.

      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
