Hi everyone. I have had type 2 for about 5 months. Since i have contracted the virus, i go through period of an "itching" sensation around the entrance to my vagina. is this a normal symptom to have? i assume its the virus active on my skin. if so, does this "itching" improve over time? thanks!

everyone has different "symtoms" as to when an outbreak might be ready to surface..

ive had it since 2005 and now when exaclty when an outbreak is on the arizon - i get achey legs and a tingling sensation - i apply sum topical cream and usually never geT the OB.

YES. as your immune sysmte comes to terms with the virus OBS get shorter and less off...

read the section about remedays and stuff, thiers lots of way to help the immune system out.

personally, i dont bother with any off it, as i seem to be alot luckier - (for want of a better word) as i dont get many OBs and whe i do they are very mild - as sumone saud to me, why mess about with my immune system when its doing a pretty good job by itself.

the itching is a symptom of hsv. the virus resides in your nervous system and the nerves are reacting to the virus.

I've had those sensations for over 10 years but the daily antiviral suppressive therapy has reduced the intensity and frequency.

I am not sure if the sensation is actually an indication of assymptomatic shedding or not. Sometimes it is more intense than others.

In the presence of those symptoms I never had an actual ob for the first 8 years.

I find that a steroid creams stops the itch. However, my dr. told me not to use it during an active ob. You may want to ask your dr what they recommend for this.

      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.

      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
