...so if this already exists my apologies. :-?

Havnt had the time to read all but would love to get an answer. How do you do it with showering? My doctor told me I should not let the water from the infected areas run over my body. :confused:

That's a new one on me. I take showers all the time when I have an ob, and I know a lot of people say a warm bath helps, so I have no idea what your dr is talking about. I really don't think the water running down is going to spread anything. That's a little far-fetched. Sounds to me like another dr who doesn't know much about herpes. Wow. Now that would be something new and different, wouldn't it? :shock:

Could you imagine; dealing with an ob and NOT being able to shower or bathe. OMG, that would be the ultimate worst!

Don't listen to your doctor. After you shower (I use antibacterial soap, always did). Dry yourself, infected parts last, and put that towel in the wash immediately. Don't re-use the towel even if it dries.

What ignorant dr would tell u that? I have never heard of that...and the other people who posted are right...the dr obviously isnt educated about H perse. So what...is he suggesting you not bathe and stay sweaty and nasty...which could lead to further ob??? It makes no sense what so ever. Cleaning is essential I would think...because you harbor other bacteria down there not just the virus some of us carry..LOL thats a new one;) The chance of u spreading it to other areas would be minimal I would think and whatever is there water is washing it away!

The H virus isn't supposed to be able to survive in a soapy environment... and if it did, trust me, everyone who had H would have it everywhere...

And you don't even need antibacterial soap or harsh soaps/alcohol... just any plain ole soap does wonders for washing stuff away including bacteria!

      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"?
