hello,

I just wanted to get a feel of people's outbreaks of cold sores.

Ive been to two doctors, both of which told me I didn't have cold sores.

But I keep reading outbreaks can be anything.

Do they HAVE to be blisters?

how long do they generally last? with this question, can you be specific. Like, how long it takes to fully go away, or how long a blister dries up.

Ive never had a blister or anything around my mouth. tiny pimples yes, nothing ever clustered.

but I do have hair folicles everywhere, even some on my vermilion border.

I do tend to get lots of pimples as well.

i dont know how to get a hsv specific test

i don't live in the states so yeah, the only blood test we have is the unreliable one which proves inconclusive. it detects the antibodies you made when you had chicken pox -_-

      Blister on butt from sitting extended and excessive sweating

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      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

      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.
