I was here about 4 months ago because I was flipping out about some sores that I developed down below. To make a long story short, my boyfriend had a cold sore on his mouth (so small that it was very unnoticeable) and even being as old as we are (34 and 41) we had no idea that it was possible to pass on oral to genital.

I went to Planned Parenthood then and got a negative result, in fact, had the doctor tell me that she wasn't convinced and I probably could have saved my money...we breathed a sign of relief and went about our business. Then two weeks ago, I had the same thing going on except, went to Planned Parenthood had to stress out for a week awaiting the results, and was told yesterday that I tested positive for HSV-1 of the genitals.

I am trying to take it stride telling myself that apparently I have the milder of the two. Even the nurse practitioner that saw it said it was a real mild case. My boyfriend is beside himself telling me he is so sorry for this, but I am not mad at him in the slightest....we just didn't know.

My first two outbreaks have been uncomfortable, but I cannot say that they are overwhelming. I went through them both with no treatment whatsoever (except taking L-lysine halfway through my first one) and if that is the worst of it, I can handle it.

I guess the thing I am trying to get over is the feeling I get when I have the outbreaks...I feel nasty and untouchable from time to time, even though my boyfriend has done absolutely nothing to make me feel that way. I suppose that it will get better with time.

      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
